"William!" Emma yelled, tears threatening to run down her face, "I know how it feels. I know exactly what it's like to cry in the shower so no one could hear me. To wait for everyone to fall asleep so I could fucking fall apart. For everything to hurt so bad; for my anxiety to get so bad, that I just want to end it all. So don't you dare tell me I don't know real pain, because I know exactly how it feels."
Will walked up to her and wiped the solitary tear that escaped down her cheek with his thumb; cupping her face that was currently looking down at her twiddling fingers. Emma did that when she needed to keep her anxiety at bay.
"I just don't want to be hurt again." Emma said, her voice so soft, so fragile as she found the strength to look up at Will's chocolate brown eyes. A sad smile touched his face for a brief second, "would you believe me if I said; neither do I."
************************************
Emmillia Vasquez had high expectations when it came to love and it connected to romance and happiness. William Morgan knew love and it connected to betrayal and pain. You'd think these two would meet; she'd 'fix' him and they'd have a happily ever after, right? Well, that's not exactly how life works, now does it. Life and love isn't that cliche.
We were taught to expect the unexpected, yet neither of them expected that they would actually fall in love. Will one stupid bet, one foolish mistake, ruin something genuinely real. Love is messy and painful, it hurts and leaves scars, love is simple yet complicated but love is worth it; because love is love.
He wants freedom with stability and she wants that perfect partner in crime, little do they know, they only need each other. So just how does this thing called 'love', really work?
