"Please you have to remove this mask, stop making yourself hidden when you're handsome, Alex," Emelda said. "And who gave you the right to tell me what to do, all of you are all the same, "after removing this mask I would know your real intentions which I do not want. Chelsea said the same thing, and where is she right now?. I asked. "I am not the same, and if you're not going to remove the mask I would leave and never return". Emelda said and burst into an uncontrollable cry. I felt my heart shatter as I watch her shed tears for me. "Okay, I would remove it, but promise me you won't leave". I said to her feeling guilty for making her cry, I do hate seeing her cry. I love her but am afraid to say it. "I promise". she said as she moved closer to me. ❤❤ BERRY VOTE, COMMENT, FOLLOW AND SHARE! ©All right reserved📝

"Are you avoiding me?" He says looking straight into my eyes. "Why?" I raised my eyebrow. I tried to look calm, hiding the fact that I was shaking inside. "This is how were before Alexander. Don't ever think that everything's changed just because I've been with you for a couple of days." "What's wrong?" "Everything!" I blurted. "Everything is wrong. You made it clear last time that you wanted me to be your girlfriend, and that is not going to happen because I have a boyfriend! I can't do it. I can't cheat on him! So could you plea -" "Then break up with him." He said as a matter of fact. My mouth hanged open as I looked at him in disbelief. "Will you please shut up! You left me first! You don't have the right to do this right now." I turned and stormed away from him but he grabbed my shoulders this time. "Melissa please." He pleaded. Tears formed on the corners of his eyes. "Please what?" "I will patiently wait." "Alexander, don't do this. You're asking me to either break up with my boyfriend or cheat on him and I'm not doing any of that." I walked away, leaving him but stopped and looked back at him once more. "Stop with this already. You're making a fool of yourself." This would be the last time. Good bye my first love.

She was mine long before she knew it. I had been raised in shadows, in a world where power was survival and choice was an illusion. But then there was her. She slipped into my life unexpectedly and defiantly, her eyes too bright for a town like this one. She was unafraid of what lay beneath the surface, thinking she could walk away and resist the pull. But every step she took only bound her tighter to me. She was delicate but stubborn, fierce enough to face what others ran from, even if she didn't fully see it yet. She was the only thing I had ever chosen. I would break anything to keep her, everything, even her illusions of freedom. Because in a world that offered no choices, she became my one certainty. I will carve that truth into the world, with blood, if I have to. R.

"Do you want me Andrew? Can you picture me with any other man besides yourself?" I asked starring at him questionably. He swallowed. "No." "Then what's stopping you?" I asked back rubbing small circles on his hand. "I'm too dark for you Jade, I wish you would understand that." He mumbled. "Sometimes darkness, can show you the light. And I've seen the light with you Andrew. You're home for me."

Melissa: She has a story in her eyes. "You. Are. Mine." He said, emphasising each word so that they carve in my brain. "No. Stop it." A tear stained my cheeks. His teeth grazed my neck, leaving angry marks. A soft whimper escaped my mouth. "I won't let you leave me. Do you hear me?" He whispered menacingly in my ears. His mouth captured my ear lobe and sucked it. The sensation was both painful and pleasurable. "I don't love you." I uttered those painful words which weren't true. "You are hurting me."
