I Love You

Chapter 2

Ember's POV

As I was on the verge of falling asleep I heard Chris say the three words I dreaded," I love you so much Ember."

I immediately froze, I felt the tears coming down my face. The warm salt water lapped at my chest. I quickly got up and ran out of the tent, leaving a stunned looking Chris. After about running 5 blocks I ended up falling down and crying. He can't love me. I'm horrible, if he does love me I just hurt him more than anything by running. I knew what I had to do. I slowly walked back to the tent and saw Chris crying. I was gonna end up hurting him more than anything now. I went in and got on some skinny jeans and a tank top and my boots. I packed an extra outfit and my fighting outfit. Once I was done I walked over to Chris and looked him in the eye," I hate you and could never love you at all. I hate you Chris I hate you so much."

I kept my expression normal even though I was breaking inside. I saw his once always happy ice blue eyes turn dark. His emotion changed to hatred and sadness then he said," I know you don't hate me. I know you vowed to never say I love you. But why make the vow? Why don't you love me back?"

" I hate you Chris. I don't have to answer to the people I hate." I said and walked away. I looked back for a second and saw Chris in tears. His eyes filled with sadness,hatred and loss. When I was about 2 blocks away I fell down and started crying. I felt so sad and guilty. I regret all what I had said. My phone started buzzing in my back pocket and I looked at the caller, it was the apartment owner. I immediately answered,"Hello?"

" Hi is this Ember Chance?"

"Yes it is"

" Good good so the apartment is 700 a month. Still in?"

"Yes of course."

" Okay it's yours."

" Awesome can I come tonight?"

" Yes you can room 701 I will leave the key under the mat for you."

"Thank you so much bye." I ended the call and started walking towards the apartments. Once I finally got there I ended up going to the top floor. As I finally came to 701 I grabbed the key from under the mat and walked in. This place was bigger than it seemed in the pictures. And there was already a bed and a couch! I went and sat on the couch and pulled out my phone. 27 text from Chris and 3 missed calls. I decided to finally call him back.

" Ember?!? Where are you? I've been looking for you everywhere?"

"Um I'm at the apartment complex duh."

" You went without me?"

"yeah. There is already a bed. So it is room 701 at the very top."

"Okay and we need to talk when I get there bye"

"Bye"

I sat on the porch until he showed up. He started talking then.....
