Defiant love

Chapter 5: The Scars That I Carve.

Aiden's pov:

"We should date huh?"

Amarah repeats those words while thinking about what she said.

"I wouldn't mind" I said with a smirk on my face.

"W-w-why would you date me?" Amarah says while blushing.

"Why will I not?"

"Because, you....... you like another girl" Amarah says with utter innocence.

I pin her to the wall not looking toward her. I grab her wrists. The sleeve had slipped down and there I felt it.

"No! No no no no no" I clumsily try to flip her sleeves down not caring if her mother might come from office at any moment and misunderstand something.

There I see it. My beautiful Amarah covered in scars. I look at her with desperation. I didn't notice she was in tears and sobbing.

I hug her and bury her in my chest. After a few moments I build up my stamina to ask her but all that comes out of my mouth is

"Why?"

A silent word with so many feelings carved into it.

She stops crying and I let her go.

"Since when" I say calmly.

"I couldn't feel anything" says Amarah with a cracked voice.

"Since when!"

I felt a pain so grieve that I didn't even want to speak. I wanted to leave. I wanted to be alone but I knew that she needed me. I couldn't just leave. It was something Amarah could do. Leave. I wasn't that strong.

"When I was away, I'm sorry Aiden. I just felt like cutting my skin open would make all the pain just seep away"

I felt so drained. So, drained of everything when she said that. I couldn't bear this any longer.

"Amarah!" I cup her face in my hands.

Her lashes looked so pretty, even though she was crying she looked pretty. She was an angel one could wish to kiss day and night.

She stared at me until I didn't say anything.

"Close your eyes" I said.

Amarah felt warm, cozy, comfortable but what she didn't know was the mirror was about to break.

He leans towards her ear instead of her lips.

"You're pathetic" I whisper into her ear. Kiss her on her head and leave.

Sometimes you don't want to leave but you have to. Sometimes you want to leave but you can't.

But sometimes, just sometimes it's good that you leave. So, others may realize your worth and value. And that's what I believed. If I leave maybe she will know that this hurt me and she will never do it again. Maybe. Just maybe.
