I spit at his shoes and drag myself to my feet. Raising my pounding head, I look him straight in the eyes and whisper, "I have a heart, you suffocated it. I have a brain, you tried to freeze it. I refuse to sit around any longer and let my heart be filled with your madness, or my brain squashed by your fist. I won’t-“ Grabbing my shirt, he throws me against the wall, trapping me with his body, ready to yell in my face, "Little girl, escaping us is a dream you'll soon forget, because it won't happen until you're dead!" he spits. Laughing, I reply "Tell me- if escaping was just a dream, then why do I feel as though I just woke up?" I used to think that freedom meant the end of the school bell, or the day I got a licence.&amp;nbsp; But recently I had an epiphany. While I was stuck longing for air, my bones just rubber &amp; my heart cracked in pieces I noticed one thing. Freedom isn't something you're given, it's something you steal- and it's my turn to steal it back.

"Can you forget about me...?" I asked him as we stood in the frozen night. He shook his head. I smile, "Well, in that case..." I pause to step back a bit and look up at him. "I'm sorry...," With that, I fall back and into the river. All I could feel was the icey water slowly filling my lungs and then... 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. I never meant for him to fall in love with me. However, when I woke up, I woke up in a white room, "A hospital room...?" I thought to myself. I look around wondering how and why I was here...and then I see him... right next to me. I slightly frowned and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on my shoulder, urging me to lie back down. I fought against him, trying to get away from him. But he held me firmly, his eyes filled with concern and love. "Please, calm down. You scared me when you fell into the river. I thought I had lost you," he whispered, his voice breaking with emotion. I stopped struggling and looked into his eyes, seeing the pain and fear that I had caused him. I then looked down as I said, "I thought I'd make it easier for you." His face paled. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. I took a deep breath and confessed, "I never wanted you to fall in love with me." I say. He looked at me in shock, his grip on my shoulder loosening. "Why would you say that? Why would you think that would be easier for me?" he asked, his voice filled with confusion and hurt. I closed my eyes, unable to meet his gaze as I replied, "Because I don't deserve your love. I'm not who you think I am." He sat there in silence, processing my words. And then, without warning, he leaned in and kissed me softly on the lips. I pulled away, stunned by his action. "I don't care who you think you are. I love you, for you dumbass," he said.
