"Why do you keep pushing me away?" He yelled. "Stop yelling at me!" I yelled back. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean t.." I cut him off and said, "I'm sorry too Jake but I'm in a really dark place right now and I need some time to myself. I don't want to be dependent on anyone. I don't need anyone!" "I understand Riley, but for how long are you going to keep this up? I can see right through your smile. You're hurt." He said. I felt tears roll down my cheeks. I was frustrated of crying all the time. "Don't cry Please. It hurts me to see you like this." He said. "Why? Why Jake? Why do I even matter to you? Are you blind? What do you even see in me?" I yelled at him. I was breaking down. I could feel my heart ache and my eyes were blurry. [Completed] __________________________________________
