"You knew that I never loved you Jasmine, not in that way. So why keep following me around like some lost puppy?"
"What? I-I don't understand." My vision was getting blurry now, tears were slowly beginning to fall down my face.
"I. Will. Never. Be in love with you. Face the facts Jas, and move on."
With a heavy heart, I stared into the eyes of the only boy I ever loved, searching for something, anything to tell me he was lying. But all I saw was a stranger, someone that I thought I knew, but didn't.
