"Let me take a look at the bullet wound." "No tesoro. I can do this myself," Vittore grumbled and I gave him incredulous look. "Don't start that bullshit with me Vittore. Remove your arm and let me help you or..." I trailed off, not able to say more. I was still in shock but I could do this. "Just... just let me help." "No." I glared at Vittore. "Why are you being so damn egotistic?! Let me help you! Do you know what it was like to find you like... and to..." I couldn't even get all the words out. "Let me help you. Please." Begging wasn't something I'd ever do but I just needed him to let me help him. "No-" "Why?!" I suddenly exploded. "Why won't you just let me help you?!" "Because I don't know how to handle it ok?!"

Andrew licks his lips and advances towards me. "You said my life will be better without you in order for me to be happy," he pauses, meeting my gaze. "But I don't see how that's possible if I can't live a life without you in it." His eyes fall to my lips for a fleeting moment. "You're my world, Hailey Adkins. And I think it's about damn time I told you." And then our worlds collide as he brings his lips down to mine. **** This is your average story about a boy and a girl who fall in love.
