But I Can't Lose Her

"You can't be serious. You can't sit here, and tell me you don't care how much this would kill Harper and Michael," I protest, sitting up on my hand, watching him below me. I feel his hand tighten slightly as he swallows, taking breathes I can feel under my palm.

"Yeah. I am serious, Leigh. Because I know, okay? I fucking know how wrong this is, and how we shouldn't be here, and I shouldn't want to kiss you so badly right now, but I do. You wanna know why? Because ever since I was little, I pictured you and only you in my head, and I can't stop my feelings. I can't stop the way I feel when I see you, or when I feel you, or when I hear you. Everything about you is in my head 24/7, and I don't ever want it to stop."

For a moment, I look down at him and focus on him, but I can't help the nausea that's circling in my stomach.

To be so lucky to fall in love. To be so lucky to find your soulmate, the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. That's all I dream of. And maybe that's dumb, but ever since I was little, that's all I wanted. Love.

But, I found it in one of the most unexpected places. With one of the most unexpected people.

I fell in love so unexpectedly, I didn't fully think of everything that would happen because of it. Because of us.
