original love (cliche i know)

"Don't you dare feel bad for me." He shakily breaths, grinding his teeth in frustration. His eyes are bright green now instead of a muddy forest green as they've recently appeared.

"Why are you like this?"

"Lincoln you can't understand how hard this is for me." He's right I can't, I won't ever be able to, as much as it breaks my heart to hear he's experiencing this completely alone.

"Then stop pushing me away."

"If I don't your gonna end up with an broken heart and a funeral." He says pinning me into the wall positioned behind me his hands felt soft against my wrists

"Its worth it if I get you."
