"I-I can't do this, not with you, you don't know what you mean. This was a mistake." He stops and backs away, right before our lips touch. "But, I love you. I feel, electric when I'm near you. You're the only one who can make me feel, safe. Do you really not love me?" I make an effort to move closer to him. I know he loves, or at least likes me. Maybe. "I can't, I can't hurt you, you don't want this, you don't know where I'm from, please leave me alone. I-I do not love you." Tears well in my eyes, I can't stay here. My entire reason for living on planet earth is gone. I want to leave, but I can't. Hurt by his words, I'm stuck in place, and the room starts spinning. I know what's happening next.
