"I'm sorry Arthur... I can't do this." I stare up in stare at those beautiful pair of eyes. "What..." He starts off. "I'm sorry Art." My voice becomes weak, taking a step back. "But why?" He questions, taking a step towards me. "I love my parents Arthur. But everything's gone now. All the people I love would eventually leave me." I state. "Why should I continue feeling like this when I know I would eventually get my heart broken again." He takes a step towards me, slowly closing the gap between us. My back was now pressed against the wall, my breathing hitched a pace faster. "You...Love me?" He stuttered his eyes searched mine for answers. My mouth remains shut as sudden realization hits me. Do I love him. His hand reaches out for my cheek, his thumb grazing over it. "No Arthur," I pulled his hand away from my cheek, ignoring the shots of electricity flowing through "Please, I don't want to make this harder, for both of us. What if you won't be there when I need you the most. What if you will leave, just like my parents." "I promise I won't do that," Arthur's hands find mine, his long fingers wrapped around my wrist. "That's what everyone says-" "I will be there for you..." He brings his body closer to mine. I can feel his warm breath at my ear. "I promise." \\ Kate Hills: -a focused and obedient student.
