"Do you remember when we first met? I never want to forget, Please, don't let me forget you..." - He's always loved her. Since the first time he laid his eyes on her. But he was scared. He was scared to love again. So he carried on as he was going. Sleeping with girls and dumping them the next day. Being the schools heartthrob had its perks. He could get whatever he wanted whenever he wanted it. And in this case, he wanted anything that could help him forget her. But little did anyone know, he was also troubled by a terrible curse. A curse that stopped him from loving, and caused him to start pushing people away. Because he hurts anyone he loves, he built a wall to protect not himself, but everyone else. Never letting anyone in. But she didn't need to do anything to break down his walls. She didn't even try to. He simply looked at her, and he already heard the clock on his wrist start to tick, a countdown to disaster. **trigger warning** **mentions of self harm**
