''Is everything okay?'' He asked. ''Yeah, I'm fine'' She answered shrugging but you could see the tears forming in her her eyes while she was looking anywhere but in his eyes because she knew that if they made eye contact she would break. She would completely break down right in front of him. She would emplace herself vulnerable. She would be weak. And that was all that she didn't wanted to be. She wanted to be this strong women. But she kept telling herself that she wasn't. She kept talking herself down. She just didn't want him to know.

But then just for a split second their eyes met. Just that one second that made him realize that she wasn't fine at all. The opposite actually. She was breaking inside. Ans she needed him. She needed him to love her.

''I know you're not fine and thats okay. I'm here for you. Always.'' That is when her mask fell but luckily he was there to catch her and hold her. ''You're scared to die and I know it.'' He said kissing her forehead. ''I'm not scared of dying. I'm scared of leaving you.'' She said as tears fell down her cheeks.
