"Why, why are you here. God, I can't handle you right now." I said choking back tears.
"What the fuck does that mean! I know you love me, Andy."
He grabbed my arm and pulled me close, I pulled away from his grasp.
"Don't you touch me dally."
"You never cared, huh? What, you think I wanted an easy score? You wanna know the worst pain, hearing I love you, and knowing it is a lie."
I try holding back my tears, my voice breaking, "please, stay away from me."
"I'm never gonna leave," he growls
Tears fell like rain, from my eyes.
Am I not enough for him
His face angry, like usual, but it had sadness lingering in his expression.
He sees a tear fall down my cheek and reached his hand on the side of my face.
His hand lightly placed on my cheek, wiping my tears. His eyes on mine, looking for some kind of life.
I had none.
He killed it.
I softly put his hand down, and shake my head.
"I know where your hands have been dally, I'm sorry I can't. I can't be here, knowing your lips, your eyes were on her."
"That's it then? You're gonna just fucking leave."
That left a pain in my chest.
I didn't answer, the silence so loud as a train horn.
"Answer me!" He yelled making me shake.
-
Dallas Winston. He's a thief, a liar, a cheater, and the most cold-hearted person you can ever meet. He has a reputation around here in Tulsa, Oklahoma and even down at the police station. Some of the cops are even scared of him. He built his way to the top of the rank, where he was untouchable. Dallas Winston just wanted to be loved by someone, seeing his horrible childhood, he bottled it all inside. Knowing that one day, all of his compressed emotions, would explode out of him with one single trigger. Maybe that's why Dallas Winston never felt anything after that. He never felt the true meaning of life or even love.
"I...I love you" My breath hitched and my body went numb.
I might have seen this coming but still those 3 words took the life out of me.
"Amelie-" He tried to come
near me, but I shook my head and pressed my back on the wall, not wanting him to touch me.
"Don't touch me" I said loud and clear, causing him to step back and look at me with fear. I could easily read his eyes.
There was fear, guilt, regret, and, obviously love.
"H-how can you?" I questioned him,
still not believing his words. I knew it was all true, but I didn't want it to be. Because I knew it wouldn't end well. Neither for me, nor for him.
"I know...I just-" "You can't love
me" I cut him off because seeing tears in his eyes just broke my heart even more.
He lowered his head, nodding. I could see tears dripping down his cheeks. "I-I wanted to let y-you know" His cracked voice and dejected tone cut through my chest.
I looked away to breathe because the sight of him standing helplessly in tears was suffocating me.
"I'm engaged, and you knew it" I grit out. I know if I opened my mouth more, than I'll break down too and I don't want to cry in front of him. I can't.
"FALLING IN LOVE WITH
YOU WASN'T IN MY CONTROL, DAMMIT" I flinched due to his sudden outburst and pressed my lips harder to suppress my sobs.
"I was helpless. I couldn't control it, baby love" I heard him whisper, and moved my gaze to met with his.
"I can't love you" I mumbled, loud enough for him to hear. "I know" He nodded as more tears rolled down his face, making it harder for me to hold myself back.
