Being popular and every boy's crush can seem to be very tough but suffering of something else is challenging and can make your entire reputation go up in reek. ________________________________________ "Is this still just a game for you?" I said tears welling up my eyes as I looked away, avoiding his gaze. "I-I." He began stuttering. He lowered his head nodding slightly. "Just what I thought." I said laughing humorlessly. "But you were the one suggesting this." He tried. I looked away once again knowing that I would cry anytime soon. "Do you love me then?" He didn't answer. He looked at me for a while before he let go of my hands. My breath hitched and my palms were sweating. I swallowed the lump in my throat and turned around ready to leave him for good. "I do." I heard him say as I stopped in my tracks. "I did, from the very beginning." __________________________________________ •2017 •All rights reserved @Violetta_Vargas
