The Player

"Ella, please." He said.
"What are you doing here?" I looked at him confused.
"Please don't shut me out of your life."
"Shut you out of my life? What are you talking about? You're barely even in my life."
"You need to know the truth."
"What truth?"
"Just listen and hear me out." he let out a deep breath. "I need you to be my friend, even just an acquaintance if that's better for you, because I need you."
"What? What are you even talking about? I think you need to leave. Right now."
"You don't understand Ella."
"I think I understand completely fine. You're a creep who won't leave me alone. So you better leave now before I call the cops."
"And tell them what? That I won't leave you alone because I have feelings for you?"
"Look, you're really...........what did you say?"
"Ella, I'm in love with you." He said, and I felt all of the color drain from my face.
