The moonlight that adorned her soft features only enhanced what a devil I am. I was on my way to ruin her whole. She wouldn't be the same after this. The pieces would be broken beyond repair but at least I had the solidifying assurance that she would be safe.

After everything, a part of me still thought that maybe I was a lucky bastard. That I would be enough to protect her and care for her. But my world was catching up to me at a speed that was sure to snatch the ground from under my feet.

I actually started to think that I would make her happy and that there wouldn't come a day when she would leave me for the no good man that I am.

I slowly walk to her sleeping body lying in bed. The expensive sheets caress her body like a glove and my need for her only grows.

I was a hunter, a lion preying on the innocent lamb. I was stupid to think otherwise because our story had to end only in one way. Me breaking her beyond repair, while she would give her all to me.

The bed dipped with my weight as I gently took a seat near her head. She stirred in her sleep but didn't wake up. The urge to brush the hair away from her face was unavoidable and involuntary as my fingers lightly traced her innocent face.

I took the loose strands of hair and tucked them behind her ear. She still didn't wake up and even if she did, it would be hopeless. All her efforts to change my mind would be in vain.

'The call' I made an hour ago was excruciating and its repercussions were killing me softly.

I looked down at the angel who showed me the light and the little things about her seemed to play in my head on a roll.

The way she would smile when our eyes would meet. Her curiosity always getting the best of her. How she would practically try and run away when she was awkward. And above all, the way she always saw the good in me.

Her every breath pulled me in. I wanted to hold her. I wanted to kiss like I never had just to remind her how much she meant to me. But my time was up and all I could do now was watch her leave and live the rest of my life knowing that I had the privilege to be wanted by a person as beautiful as her.

"Something is going to happen tomorrow and there's a chance that you will hate me for the rest of your life for it. But no matter what you say to make me stop it, I won't." I say to her.

Nothing could justify what I had agreed to do but the thought that I would get a chance to tell her how I feel before I would let her go was enough for me.

An unbearable sob started to lodge in my throat making me choke. I was afraid to say anything more even though I knew this would be my last chance to. Because by tomorrow I would have destroyed any emotion Emma had ever felt for me.

"Baby you became my only reason to exist", I blurt out, my voice deceiving me by being weak and torn.

"Every single time I fucked up, you were there to fight for me but now you won't be able to, because I won't let you", my mind was made up and there was no going back.
