From Forbidden To Forever
10 parts Ongoing Mature"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.
