I felt a ripping pain in my chest as I saw him with her, smiling, laughing and even what seemed to be flirting with her. This pain grew larger the longer I watched the two of them together. Suddenly I found myself around the corner, crouched into a ball and sobbing at the foot of my locker. "Why do I feel like this?" I wondered, "I don't even like him, I don't even know him, and yet he has completely broken me." I sat there sobbing for so long, I hadn't even noticed that they had finished talking and he was now standing in front of me. "Megan, why are you crying? Are you okay?" He asked while couching down next to me. I simply looked at him and said "No, You're breaking me, and I'm not okay." He then sat there crouched in silence and he held me in his arms. "I'm so sorry." He replied with a crackling voice. I hated him, but his warmth made me feel safe. Laying his head on mine sounding even more apologetic and genuine he says, "I am so sorry Megan, please tell me how to fix it." I feel his tears fall onto my hands that are now covering my crying face.
I reply with "Stop, just.. please stop." He asks, "Stop what Megan? I then replied back "Stop making me fall in love with you!" What he said next gave me chills and made me sob even harder. "I don't want you to stop, I want you." His voice cracked once more and then he started to cry. Did Holden Daniels Just admit he has feelings for me? He never shows emotion, is he really changing?
Am I falling for someone who has a completly different side to them? Where has he been all this time? Will our paths align in the end, and will it be worth it?
