"Well?"

"I dont, i dont know"

"what do you mean you dont know?"

"I think i do. Im just not sure."

I feel the disappointment he has. It is as if he gathered all of it up and threw it at my heart making me suddenly feel more empty than i ever have.

"I think there is a pretty good chance i could"

"'pretty good chance' isnt good enough"

"what do you want me to say? we barely talk anymore until tonight. you like me and then you dont. how am i supposed to believe that you truly love me? when i start to feel strong feelings for you, you just push me away. how do you think that makes me feel?"

He sits up and looks away. I now realize i went too far. I suddenly feel the guilt and regret crawling up my spine, i start to get the chills. i know his temper and if something pushes him too far, that the end of it.

"We dont talk because i get nervous, i do like, love you but im scared of my thoughts and feelings, im sorry if i have pushed you away before but it will be different this time, i promise."

"i believe you, i do, but lets take this slow, okay?"

"at least let me show how much i love you"

We are standing up i felt relieved but now i feel frightend agin. i dont want to know how he wants to show me how much he loves me, its too fast. I start backing up but he just keeps getting closer and closer. He's faster than i am, stronger than i am, i cant escape.

" no" i say trying to hide my fear

"come on babe lets just have a little fun"

"no, its too fast, please dont."

I trip but i hurry back up to my feet. I start to run. I know im not faster so i try to hide in the shadows of the night as i round a corner. His pouncing footsteps are close behind mine. I jump behind another tree. but he doesnt see me.

"please babe, im not going to hurt you"

i here the smirk he has across the face as he says it. i stay close to the ground and then when i reach the courtyard, i run as fast as i can, pushing my legs to keep going forward back to my home
