Roman's irises had an amazing glow, like burning embers encased in crystalline glass spheres. His eyes crinkled, cheeks dimpled, and the ends of his mouth turned upwards.
He put his hand from my face to my shoulder.
I felt my eyes glaze over from trying to stop tears from erupting. Oh no...
I already felt my heart snapping under the self hate.
It was like I was finally feeling.
I despised it.
But I ran.
Out of the room.
Flashback
When I had first met Roman, it was like a light had finally been lit in my heart. First it was all platonic, but later in our friendship I started developing 'feelings'.
I had never felt that before.
End of flashback.
"Lo!"
Roman was there.
"What?" I inquired through tears,
"Yes." He smiled.
I froze.
"Really?"
"Yes, I love you."
"T-thank you.."
"Logan, I've, I've always loved you. I always have and always will. Believe me. I will always... love you... you're so calm and knowledgeable. You're so... amazing and handsome and I-I'm loud and obnoxious... I'm emotional, overly ambitious, lazy, overly compassionate, ungrateful, unhelpful a-and IM A MESS!"
I hugged him and sobbed softly into his chest.
"I'm sorry..." He weeped.
"Roman... I love you. So much."
"Why?"
"Because you are you."
"Why've you never showed emotions?"
"... Four years ago... I had a breakdown."
"What happened?"
"I do not know now." I lied.
I knew. I knew very well.
Because it was the worst experience of my life.
