Starless Eyes

Chapter 25

Pau's POV

"You haven't changed at all.

You still love locking yourself inside rooms, with me"

He said.

He took a step forward.

There were shattered glasses at his feet.

I took a step back.

Finally, my body started obeying me again.

"Have you run out of places to run away from me?"

He asked in a sarcastic tone.

He took another step closer.

"Why, are you afraid of me?

Did you do something terrible worthy of guilt?

Did you regret doing it?

Or..."

He stopped.

"Were you happy that you did it to me?"

This time, it's not sarcastic at all.

I can feel that there's anger in his voice.

He took another step close.

I did the same, backwards.

"Why do you have to kill me?"

His expressions changed.

Now, I can hear his pain.

He was staring at me with pleading eyes.

"You said, we can be together if I just wait a little longer."

He asked as a tear rolled down his cheeks.

These questions.

As much as I wanted to answer them,

I can't.

I just can't find the words to explain it to him.

I wanted to save him.

That's true.

I wanted to keep my promise but I failed to do that.

I just ended up killing him.

It's all my fault.

"Why don't you answer me?

Was this planned all along?

Am I really just one of your experiments?"

His eyes sorrowful.

More tears fell from those reddish brown eyes.

I wanted to wipe those tears away for him.

But I can't have myself do it.

I'm not worthy.

He took another step.

I took another step back.

I then realized that I'm on a dead end.

My back's already touching the cold wall.

He continued stepping closer to me until he's just inches away from me.

"Why?"

He asked pleadingly.

The tears on his eyes continued flowing like raindrops on a rainy day.

He's more hurt than angry.

I can see it in his eyes.

He took another step closer but I blocked him.
