Bad Boys Fall For the Innocent

~*~*~*~

"Maybe one day you'll be able to love me back," he whispered, hugging me closer to his chest and resting his chin on the top of my head.

"I know," I whispered back, hugging him closer if that was even possible. I felt his hands playing with my hair, unknowingly bringing comfort with every stroke. I sighed, the noise muffled out from his jacket.

A stretch of silence encased us and all we could hear was the beating hearts of each other and the rhythmic pattern they made.

"You know I won't ever stop fighting for you." He suddenly said, breaking that solitude of silence. I immediately felt his gaze boring through me, a hot fire taking up my body. I looked up at him, frowning as I saw how much pain was held in his eyes.

I wished it didn't have to be this way.

I wished it could've turned out different.

I wished I had a choice.

Pushing my emotions back, I replied an answer than I knew he wasn't going to like. One that made me feel like a heartless villain. A simple sentence that I knew had to be said, just to get the truth out into the open, rather than kill us from the inside. "I know you won't," I gave him a hard look, distancing myself away from his intense gaze, "but neither will he."
