'I want to see you for who you really are'

"Wait," He says, and I turn around, happy. I smile as he lifts his eyes to meet mine. He breaths out softly and speaks, "I love you."

I nod my head. "I love you too." Our eyes meet, and I knew he was trying to hold himself back from crying. I walk up to him and catch my breath. My lips quiver. Liam seals his mouth, and his lips begin to quiver. His eyes puff, and tears were filling them. He closes his eyes and breathes out, turning away from me. He didn't want me to see him cry. He holds out his hand for me to not come forth.

I open my arms to help soothe him, but he raises his voice, "Get away! Go away like you said." I clench my teeth, hearing the hate in his tone. I never heard it before, but it sparked anger in me. "Leave me. Just leave!"

My breathing became inconsistent. I nod my head, feeling the fury on my hands. "I will," I state.
