Demi Imagines 3.0

Torn

Gonna be angsty ;)

You don't want to see her; why is she here?

"Hey!" she calls, gesturing for you to come over. You didn't expect to see her here. You came for some peace and quiet—not to run into her.

"What?" you ask, and she blinks.

"What do you mean "what"? I thought you'd be a bit happier to see me," she says, brushing her hair behind her ear.

"Well you were wrong."

"Why are you acting like this?" she asks, moving closer to you. You move away.

"Stop."

She moves closer and tries to put an arm around you. If this were happening two months ago, you would have been overjoyed. But it's not two months ago. It's now.

"What's your deal?"

"Stop, Demetria. Please," you say, stepping away from her. You start walking, and she follows you.

"You've got a man, don't you?" she asks, her brown eyes wide.

Your cheeks flush. "I don't."

"Then a girl?"

"Demetria, what do you want?" you ask, looking to her finally.

You've both stopped walking. Her face is so close to yours that you can feel your heart beat faster despite everything. You can smell her sweet scent. Oh how you used to love that scent. Everything from these past few months come flooding back to you...

"I love you."

"I'm sorry," she said. "I don't feel that way about you now." You were heartbroken. You thought she felt the same way. Everything had fallen into place so perfectly. But her piece refused to fit. You were absolutely heartbroken. Then she failed to contact you. For weeks. You saw that she was back together with her ex over a post on Instagram. She didn't even have the decency to tell you.

She broke your heart and didn't even acknowledge you for weeks. You were there for her when she was hurting. Yet she went right back to the person who hurt her and ignored you.

You couldn't focus for weeks. You would break down in tears every time you thought of her. You were absolutely broken. And she didn't even bother to fully reject you. She used words like "now" and acted interested. Then disinterested. Then interested again. She kept you on the edge for months. And then you fell completely and broke.

Right when you're beginning to heal, she comes back into your life like this.

"I think you know what I want," she says, snapping you from your memories.

"I don't."

"You do," she replies. You actually do know what she wants, but it's not what you want. Not anymore.

"No."

"Come on. You said it yourself. You're never going to lose feelings for me," she says, her voice almost teasing.

"That was before you treated me like shit," you reply, and she looks to you incredulously.

"Alright, snippy."

"What do you even think of me?" you ask, looking into her brown eyes. For a moment, it feels as though you might kiss. But you can't. You can't do it.

"I think..." she trails off, as if it's a difficult question. "I think you're beautiful."

She doesn't even bother to say more.

"Do you even like me?"

She doesn't reply immediately. That's all the answer you need.

"You know what, Demetria? I do have a girl." In reality, she's not really yours. Not yet, but she's been a blessing. "She's been helping me forget you, and you can't just barge back into my life like this."

"But you said you loved me," she said.

"Demetria, I don't know what to tell you. Feelings change."

And just like that, you finally walk away from the person who's been tearing at your heart for years.

Maybe you can finally have your life back now.
