Some Things Happen for a Reason

"Dont do this. Not again." His voice shook slightly as he pleaded me with his eyes not to walk away from him again.
"I'm sorry Nathan." I said in barely a whispered. I hated knowing I could cause this much pain to him, I don't know why I'm feeling guilty, I mean ever since we stopped being best friends he's made my life at school a living a hell.
"I lost you once I won't lose you again." He said, his voice stronger and his face determined.
"You don't have a choice." Little did he know that I really didn't have a choice. The only reason I was walking away from him was to protect him. I couldn't bare seeing him hurt, I knew that was what I was doing to him know but at least this way, he can get over me and live happily. Me? I'd be lucky if I could survive the night.
"I'm not giving up, whatever the reason is that you think you have to walk away from me, I'll figure it out and when I do, I'll be here." The determination in voice scared me a little. He couldn't find out, he just couldn't.
