  "Run."

  The voice...it fades like a distant boat floating on water going far off into the middle of nowhere. Once he's gone, it's as if I can move again, that I'm no longer stuck in one place, as if the time has unfroze. And that's when I bolt. I bolt from the hall at a brisk pace, chasing after the one I have a feeling I've harmed, and I know I did, there's no way in heck that I didn't. 

  I turn, left and right, down every corridor, and I finally spot him from the corner of my eye in a completely vacant hall I never knew existed, a locker door open in front of his face.

I shout his name, loud and clear, and he just shuts the locker door hastily. Giving me a glance, he turns...and just walks away, not saying anything, not sparing a few words of any sort. 

"Alakade!" I shout again, my voice vibrating off the empty walls and bouncing back to me, as if it were a boomerang. Loosing control, I run after him once again, catching him before he turns the corner to leave.

  I grab a brutally hard grip on his shirt, restraining his steps, and he harshly turns around, glaring at me with demon eyes.

"Why hurt someone, Vivian...why hurt someone when their only intention was to love you?!" He shouts. His words hit me hard in the gut, as if a thousand skews are within my dark heart. His eyes only growing darker, I see from the corner of my his knuckles turning white from clenching his fists too hard, and when he unclenches them, blood pours out drop by drop from the small cut within his hand from his nails.

His words hit me hard in the gut, as if a thousand nails are within my dark heart.

"Alakade, I-"

"It's funny," he says, in a bitter tone, his jaw clenching with excruciating pain hidden and wrapped within his retinas, "when you start planning something to do with someone who's close to you, but you never get around to it because it didn't last as long as you thought it would. I know how easily replaceable I am with a lie, don't try to act like I'm not."

I stay silent, speechless, unable to comprehend a single word to say. His eyes are dark, but I can see waves of emotion within them, clashing side to side, threatening to spill over every piece of beautiful, crystal like blue.

"I wish that things didn't have to be a choice, but life isn't fair...and I get that. I guess what really surprised me was that you were so willing to throw it all away, as if it were nothing to you," he turn from me, ripping his arm from my hand, "maybe I'm just hard to love."

With his lingering words that hit me hard like a wave from a tsunami, he walks through the door, the door that could very well be my life. Out of the light, my world now dark again.
