************************************************

November came in not long after I collapsed on the floor of my bedroom.

He was silent, and I could hardly tell he had entered my room until I felt his hand rest on my shaking shoulder.

I immediately pull away from him and turn around, tears streaming down my face. I was glad he couldn't see me in this moment of time.

"November, I've hurt you so bad. You aren't deserving of me and I should've told you before..." I hiccup through my sobs, and slowly collect myself so I can tell him.

So I can tell him what's happened to me since I was brought here, what has been haunting me for months on end.

"Hazel..." November reaches out again and this time I let him take me in his arms.

But I refused to return the hug. I couldn't bear it.

"November, I need to tell you something." I whisper, forcing his eyes on mine even though he couldn't see them. I just wanted to be able to face him directly when I said this.

His clouded blue eyes stared into mine intently, and I almost felt like he was staring right into my soul.

I had to catch my breath to finally speak.

"I-I'm sorry, November. It all happened so fast, I hardly had realized it until it was too late." I begin, feeling my tears setting again. "I fell in love with Kaleb over this time we have been here. I hate myself for it and I couldn't bear to have you know, because I knew it could lead to something I wouldn't be able to live with for the rest of my life. I'm so sorry. I didn't want to, I didn't mean to do it. It just... Happened. And I can't live through any more seconds without you knowing."

November seemed to lose himself in my eyes, and when I finished, the grief started to settle in his expression.

It terrified me.

One will fall,

One will stand.

One will love,

And one will bring pain.

One will always be,

And one will fall with flames.

When he didn't respond for awhile, I felt my mother's fair words rumbling in my chest and ringing through my ears to the point where I felt like ripping it out of me.

She was right, her words were coming true and some of them petrified me of what was to come.

"Is this true?" He finally whispers, letting go of me.

My heart ripped inside of me.

I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out as November stood up to his full height, towering over me.

He stared down at me for a long time, his face expressionless. He was waiting for me to tell him it wasn't, and that is was all a joke but the horrible truth was that it wasn't.
