"If only your words could fix everything wrong with us, then maybe, just maybe, they'd mean more to us than they do at this moment," Kai speaks. His eyes looking down at me with a despising coldness.

As I look into his eyes and process his words, I feel my heart drop and in this moment, I realize I've never felt pain so revealing before. Not being able to comprehend the feeling, I lower my head as it heavies.

From day one, I've learned to keep everything to myself whether it's my thoughts, my feelings or even objects that I own. If I need it to not destroy me in the end, I need to keep it to myself and myself only. I don't know how, but recently, I've been exposing myself more than I'd like to.

Maybe it's the anticipation or surprise of what's gonna come after, or just the exhilaration of taking a risk, but until today, I never knew why it was so important to keep things to yourself.

In simple words, it hurts. It hurts to not get what you want and it hurts to be rejected by the one thing you need most.

Licking my lips nervously, I look up at him. My eyes watering, I try my best to keep them from dripping with tears and display a small smile.
