Romance one-shots (lgbt)

Perspective 1:

I mustered up everything in me to walk up to the door. 

I knocked twice and called out, "Sweetheart," there was no reply, I knocked again. "Scarlett," I could hear sobbing coming from the other side. "Open the door."

The sobbing became louder, knocking again I whispered, 

"Scarlett..."

Her crying put my heart in pain. "You know that I love you... but right now, nothing can ever happen between us and you know that." I choked those words out from my throat and was forced to listen to her gasp when she heard them.
"So please stop crying. I'm trying to move on, you have to move on too"

"I can't, I can't... I can't move on." Her crying voice came through the door.

"Scarlett...." I whispered

"I knew I shouldn't have told you... I knew it. What was I thinking, someone as good as you, with someone as pathetic as me. That's all you ever think of me as, pathetic right, that's all I am to you."

"Scarlett... that's-"

"Stay away!" I gasped at her clear voice, cutting through my being. "And leave me alone..."

The voice that just sharply talked to me I heard her voice break from the crying.

I wanted nothing else but to bust through the door and wrap my arms around her, and never let go. Knowing there was nothing I'd be able to do, I walked away. Tears came running down my face as well.

Perspective 2:

I sat crouched behind the door, I had finally stopped crying after 2 hours. Right when wiped my face I heard footsteps in the hallway, footsteps that I recognised off the top of my brain. They started coming towards my door and I quickly covered my ears and shut my eyes as tight as I can.

There was a knock on my door, then a voice that I longed for, for so long.

"Sweetheart," Followed by another knock. Knowing she was so close.... And hearing her voice... it broke me all over again as tears started flowing out, my hands desperately trying to cover the sounds of my sobs.

"Open the door." It hurt too much I started crying uncontrollably.

"Scarlett..." She said my name softly, I knew it was from hearing me cry.

She continued, "You know that I love you... but right now, nothing can ever happen between us and you know that." It was true but hearing her say it out loud... hurt like hell. "So please stop crying. I'm trying to move on, you have to move on too"

"I can't, I can't... I can't move on." I choked on my words.

"Scarlett...."

"I knew I shouldn't have told you... I knew it. What was I thinking, someone as good as you, with someone as pathetic as me? That's all you ever think of me as, pathetic right, that's all I am to you."

"Scarlett... that's-"

"Stay away!" I heard her gasp, "And leave me alone..." My voice broke down and I kept crying, with no end in sight.

Even without looking at her, I could tell her movements, she sighed, her hand slid down the door. I knew she was crying. The footsteps that led up to this, then walked back the way they came.
