"Why don't you ever want me to help you Yolanda?" Maxwell yells in frustration while he pulls the ends of his brown locks. I let out a humorless laugh. "Because..." I start to yell but the words get stuck on my throat. His eyes lock with mine, eyebrow raised waiting for me to continue. "Because what?" "Because I'm not used to people having such pure intentions as you, alright?" I mumble feeling embarrassed for saying it out loud. Silence falls betwen us before he close the small space separating us and raises my chin so I'd look at him. "But I'm not like everyone else. Let me in Yolanda, please." He whispers. ------
