I took a few steps back, creating a reasonable distance between us.
"I'm sorry..... but I'm unable to reciprocate your feelings", i spoke coldly with my eyes lowered, not wanting to see how hurt he was.
Because he was definitely going to get wounded by them......by my cruel, cold-hearted words that were now, unfortunately the only truth that could exist between us.
"Why........?". He rasped. I stood out of his arm's reach, counting down the seconds. His voice quivered and i could feel him inching closer and closer.
With every step he took, i found it harder and harder to breathe. Clenching my fists tightly, i gasped, this wasn't what i had expected when i walked into this room. Neither was it when i walked into this home......... Love was never part of the plan.
"Richard!!", i rai
