"Why? Why do you shut me out? I've already explained myself, but you give me nothing!"
"I'm sorry, but it's not that simple. I'm not that simple," I try to sound nonchalant, but my voice quivers from his accusation.
"Nobody's simple, Brynn. Nobody. The sooner you learn that, and the sooner you learn that you need to let someone-anyone-in, the sooner you'll finally start to heal."
I scoff, "So you think I'm wounded? Broken?"
"No," he shakes his head, "I think you're lonely inside your walls, but I'm telling you right now that I have every intention of breaking them down."
"Are you rejecting me?" I ask, whispering as my heart was breaking into a million pieces.
"No." he answers.
"I...uh...huh...what?" I stutter. It didn't make sense. Why is he saying we can't be together but not reject me?
"I just can't be with you." he says with a straight face, no emotion.
"Then reject me." I tell him.
"No, and you will not reject me!" he growls at me.
"Wanna bet?" I start.
"I order you not to reject me!" he growls, cutting me off.
