It came unexpectedly. I blinked my eye and there is was. It rolled slowly down my cheek, to the tip of my chin. From there it just dropped to the floor. I quickly picked up my hand and wiped my eye, I couldn't let anyone see. I couldn't allow anyone to see that I was crying. I never cry, especially not in front of people. But there I was, in the middle of the cafeteria, with a tear dripping down from my eye. I tried my best to keep them back, but that one escaped.
I knew I had to get out of there, I could tell I wouldn't be able to hold the rest of them back for much longer. I could feel my throat start to close up and my mouth was getting really dry. He was right there. No more then five feet away from me. And he was kissing her. Like I didn't even exist.
I couldn't take it anymore. It hadn't been more than three seconds but it felt like a life time. As soon as there faces pulled apart, I started to run. I couldn't do it, I couldn't stand there and watch. I couldn't look at his closed eyes or her evil smerk. So I ran and I kept running. But he saw me and he knew I saw him. So as soon as I began running, I could feel him following. But I kept running.
I wasn't going to stop. I wasn't going to listen. I could feel the tearsbeginningto poor down my face. I have never cried harder. I could hear him getting closer, but I continued to run. He yelled my name as he ran but I wouldn't stop.
Finally I felt something on the back of my neck. He grabbed me by thecollarof my shirt andthrustedme against the brick wall of the back building. He stood in front of me so I couldn't move.
"Why didn't you stop?!" He barked. I said nothing. "Answer me!" He yelled again. But I juststarredat the ground, I refused to make eye contact with him. "Why are you not saying anything?" he was so rough, I could tell he was pissed and knew he had no right to be. I just contined starring at the ground. "Fine. I'll talk. It's not what it looked like. Okay? She kissed me. It meant nothing. I Lo-"
"Don't even say it," The tears just began falling harder. "Don't feed me that, I deserve better then that. I saw it, I saw you. I was right there. How can you lie to me, when I was right there?" My voice had become soft and you could hear my tears through my voice.
"I'm-" He put his hand under my chin and raised my head. Then the angerdisappearedfrom his face, all that was left washorrorand sorrow and sorry. "I never meant to hurt you. And I'm not lying. She did kiss me, she really did. Please, Please stop crying." His plead sounded so honest.
"You think I would still be crying if I could?" I looked away and began to squrm, I needed to get out of there. But he wouldn't let me. "Let me go! Don't you think you have done enough?" I could tell that hurt him, I could see in his eyes how bad that really hurt him. He took a step back as if he was going to let me go, but when I turned to leave he grabbed my arm, yanked me into his chest, put one hand on the back of my neck and pulled me in and kissed me. He kissed me long and hard. As he kissed me I could feel the tears, only they weren't mine. They were his. His tears only made mine fall faster. Then he let go.
"You have to trust me. You have to believe me. I can't lose you. Please, Please, I love you I really do. Forgive me please!" With every word his tears fell. I could see the honesty in my eyes, and it was to much. "Without you I'm nothing, I'm worthless. You have to forgive me, I love you more then anything and if I lose you, I can promise i won't be here for much longer. Please, I really do love you. Please?" He begged, and I died a little.
"You hurt me so bad." I whispered under my breath.
"I know, I never wanted to hurt you. I hate that I hurt you. I understand if you don't forgive me. But I wish you would."the sound of sorrow filled his voice. I stood there quite. "I understand." He said and he began to walk away. But I couldn't do it. I couldn't let him. I grabbed him by the back of his shirt, spun him around and interlocked our lips. And we just stayed like that, we wouldn't move.
The bell rang for school to be over and I finaly pulled away. Then we just starred at each other, for what seemed like forever. Then after a while, he pulled me in to him andwrappedhis arms around me. He put his mouth on the top of my head andwhispered"I will never hurt you ever again. I promise, I promise. I love you. I really really love you." And with those words, he has my heart.
