"This isn't a love story I won't automatically fall for you!" I scream getting frustrated with Xavier but more than anything else myself. I was angry at myself for being angry.

"And what is so wrong with that. What is so wrong with falling for me. What is so wrong with me loving you?" He yells back his nostrils flaring.

I was flustered. I knew why he couldn't love me. I know why I couldn't love him. It wasn't because I didn't want to because God I wanted to. No, it was because everything I love always leaves me.

Noticing how speechless I was Xavier sighed. He slammed his fist against the wall and I flinched at the impact. He didn't even look back at me as he walked out.

I wanted to call out for him tell him I was sorry, but I couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to watching another person leave because of me. I was cursed and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if he left me too.

It was better this way. It was better that I didn't fall for him. I don't need anyone but myself. Charlie said it me and him against the world but it was really just me.

Just me against the world.
