11 parts Ongoing "I never wanted this- I never wanted you." I spat out at Xavier. His face crumpled up in anguish as he walked closer towards me. A part of me wanted to give in; to hold him and remove that look of pain from his face. But I couldn't - he wasn't mine to comfort, he wasn't mine to love. I backed up against the wall behind me, my eyes red and itchy with unshed tears.
He placed an arm above my head and leaned in, "Don't say that. Stop trying to break my heart."
His voice came out strained as he placed a hand under my chin, forcing me to look up at him. Multiple emotions ran through me at once as I stared into his eyes. Fear. Longing. Sadness. Before I could think of moving further away, he moved in one swift motion and pressed a heated kiss against my mouth. I sighed against his mouth as salty tears ran down my face. One thought raged louder than any other.
"I hate this damn author."
