"Don't you understand? I don't want you to get hurt!" You sigh deeply looking down at your dirty shoes at Billie's words. "Look at me (y/n)" Billie's breath is steady but her whole body is shaking.

"I can't! I can't look at you and then see you walk away!" You walk further into the kitchen and lean over the kitchen counter.

"Babe I... you know what happens if they find out. I don't want that for us, for you" She's still standing in between the couch and the coffee table looking back and forth at you and her packed bag.

"But I love you Billie! I don't care if it's supposedly wrong! And I know you love me too!" You yell, turning around still leaning on the counter.

"I do, I really do love you (y/n)"

"Then stay" At first she stood there just looking down at her feet. She took her packed gym bag and walked towards the front door.

"I can't" You felt your heart splatter when she opened the door and turned around to face you one last time. You didn't even hear the cars that drove by nor the cold wind blowing agains the trees.

"So this is it huh? You're just giving up like that?"
You scoff at her and finally she looks remorseful.

"Maybe when all this is over we can be together, maybe buy a house outside the city, get a dog and maybe a few kids" Both you and Billie slipped out a small giggle at the mention of kids, sure you both liked kids but that the two of you could raise kids together one day that was something you could never imagine. "Then when we get old, we can tell our grandchildren about us, our story. And maybe they'll ask why I walked away," Billie continue, her teary eyes threatening to spill. "And that's when I tell them about the biggest mistake I ever made. And maybe, just maybe we can live happily together" A sob escape your mouth as you imagine having all of those things with the person you loved.

"Maybe, I like the sound of that" You smile gently at the girl standing at your door before a tear falls down on your pale cheek. Billie smiled back at you, a smiled that said 'I'm sorry', then she walked out of the house completely and closed the door behind her. That's when your body finally gave up and became one with the floor. You started sobbing like never before and only one word going through your head made you feel better.

"Maybe"
