"Did you actually think I was worth something?" I shout in his face. 

"Because I'm pretty sure that I made it very clear. Everyone that has come into my life, even the people that brought me into life, have left at some point in time, and you are no exception." 

I blink a few times fast to keep the tears at bay and then stare straight into his eyes, some unidentifiable emotion reflects back at me. 

"You think your not worth something?" He whispers, pain clawing its way out of his tone. 

"You saved me. If it weren't for you I wouldn't be here right now. And, yeah, sometimes I hate you for it, I hate you so much. But then I look in your eyes and I think, maybe I saved you, too. Maybe I'm not totally useless.  And then I love you for it because I'm not me without you."

I stare at him with my mouth gaping open, awestruck, my eyes filling with tears that I can't blink back this time.

"Y-you what?" I stutter, my heart racing a mile a minute. 

"You're so clueless sometimes." He chuckles dryly. 

" I love you Akira Rose."
