Taken Against My Will

Chapter 9: Did I really just admit that?

“Why won’t you just admit it?” he asked for the fiftieth damn time.

“Because, Alex! There’s nothing to admit!” I yelled, finally cracking. It’s been a week since our little ‘date’ and ever since he’s been bugging me to admit my feelings.

“I know you have feelings for me, you can’t lie anymore. It was always inevitable that you’d fall for me because I am your soul mate!You are mine, and I am yours! We belong together so just admit it so we can be happy. I know you’re unhappy here so let me help you! You’ve already taken the first step, you told me your past, you obviously trust me. I can’t tell you how HAPPY I am that you trust me enough to open up about your past.” He must have seen the slightly frustrated look on my fae because he quickly clarrified, “I mean the happiness came later, of ourse.” I rolled my eyes and walked over to my guitar. I haven’t played in a while so I really want to play.

“I want to play a song, could you please leave and stop annoying me about my feelings? Just leave me alone please.” I saw his face turn sad before he quickly covered it with a blank face, no emotion.

“Won’t you play with me here?” I don’t think he meant to ome across rude or sad but he did, and it broke my heart for some stupid reason. I hate seeing him sad. He stood to leave but I quickly stopped him.

“Well… you an stay… if you’d like?” his face brightened and he smiled, taking his seat again. I decided on a slowish song, because it’s been stuck in my head all day. “Lullaby” by Nickelback.

Well I know the feeling

Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge

And there ain't no healing

From cutting yourself with the jagged edge

I'm telling you that

It's never that bad

And taking that something is where at

Lay down on the floor

And your not sure

You can take this anymore

So just give it one more try

To a lullaby

And turn this up on the radio

If you can hear me now

I'm reaching out

To let you know that you're not alone

And you can't tell

I'm scared as hell

Cause I can't get you on the telephone

So just close your eyes

Well honey here comes a lullaby

Your very own lullaby

I started just playing it to myself but when I saw the smile on Alex’s face I wanted him to love it, I started playing more for him. Geez I’m falling for the guy I hate.

Please let me take you

Out of the darkness and into the light

Cause I have faith in you

That you're gonna make it through another night

Stop thinking about

The easy way out
