[DANIEL]

I ran my fingers through my hair as I stare down on the floor. I let her go. Was it the right thing to do? Letting her go?


But, what if I don't wanna let go? It doesn't matter 'cause I'm the one who's falling. Not her. I clenched my fists and face the wall. Hell, letting go or not- she doesn't have a choice, if I want her I'll have her. I punched the wall and grabbed my jacket from the chair and opened the door.


I'm selfish.


So selfish.


I sprinted down the hall, my heart raced when I didn't saw any signs of her. I wasted my time to mope now she's gone. Tears started to show from my eyes as I let my mind wandered that she's gone.


I crouched down and wiped my tears away, Hoping that these cries would commence hope. I sucked a breath and begin to go back inside.


Why am I giving up? I asked myself as I stepped inside. Did I really lose her? I stopped near a wall, my back against the cold concrete. Slowly, I slid down with a great urge to pour my emotions right there. I covered my face and felt the hot tears sprinkle down my covered face.


I felt so hollow, lost- without her, the world is nothing but cruel. I gripped my head, my breathing heavied by the minute. I closed my eyes.

Calm down, Daniel. I told myself as if it would work.


"Daniel?" Someone called, I didn't look up. I was afraid to show my weakest moment, not to mention that I cried.

"Daniel." He called again. I didn't look up, I just want to be alone right now.


"What happened?" He asked, I shook my head and refused to make contact. I let out a shaky breath. "Where is she?"

I shook my head once again, indicating that she's gone. "I don't know, Corbyn."

"Did she..." he trailed off. I wiped my tears away and sucked my breath. I look at my fingers and clenched my jaws.


"She ran off and I let her," I nonchalant stated with a shaky voice, the lump in my throat increases when I said it.

"W-what? Fuck, she's probably gonna-" I cut him off.


"She won't."


"Daniel, what has happened to you? You're the one who wanted her to stay and now you let her go? This ain't right,"


"Maybe, this is right. She doesn't want me." I shrugged. A tear slipped off, "I just- I love her, man. I don't wanna hurt her anymore, I've done enough damage that would scar her for life."


"Daniel, for all I know, she'll call the police." He insisted he crouched down to be in my level. "I'm gonna find her,"


"Corbyn, no. I trust her." I insisted.

"We don't know this person, Daniel. You don't know her." He looks at me with his green eyes. I look away and bit my lip. "What if she does-"
