A/N: Not to be mean, but I find it so maliciously funny that I'm already working on the next book when I'm not in the mood to write the ending of this book and y'all have no idea what's gonna happen...  ;P

P.S: Guys, 4 more chapters and THE BOOK IS OVER!

Song: With or Without You - U2 (cover by April Meservy & Aaron Edson)

Do I not love him anymore? Of course I do. The question is: Should I speak the truth?

"I do," he confesses.

Louis' immediate relief is evident.

"Remember when Ricky threatened you?" He finally speaks up, voice fulled by hope. "You didn't hesitate on coming to me for help. Because I love you and you know that I'll do anything in my reach to keep you safe. To keep us safe."

Louis scoots closer, arms framing his sides.

"As long as we're honest, nothing bad will happen. Because honesty is a very rare thing these days, and you and I have that. So don't let it go. Please."

He senses the lump on his throat before it's formed. What he wanted to say - what he needed to say - was far from ideal. It made him hate himself for bringing so much extra pain - not to him, but to Louis.

"I'm not ready yet." He confesses. "I need time. I need you to give me time."

"From what?" Louis asks, his eyebrows arching downwards. He could tell he was completely caught off guard.

"From everything. I need to be alone to think and focus on my exams. And with you around I'm not being able to."

He sees the thought cross Louis' mind, but it's so painful he hesitates on pronouncing it.

"Are you saying we should take some time apart?"

"Yes. Being away from you yesterday made me realize I need that for myself."

He still had so much to ponder, and so little time and disposition to do so. Of course he didn't want to lose Louis over this. But he was so confused, so hurt and fucked up... Perhaps his apathy didn't allow him to fully realize was he was doing and saying. He just couldn't think properly or find a solution. Grey areas weren't his best friend, but he couldn't chase them away. Perhaps he was so used to black and white around Louis, that they forced themselves into his life.
