“Zach, you can’t as-k me to choo-“ “I can Alanna. I AM asking you to choose. And why can’t you, you said you loved me. Is Nate that good, really?” He pulls back, holding my arms, his voice getting a bit louder. My head throbs badly and I feel a dizziness, clouding me. He doesn’t like… this.. And he doesn’t like it because he knows there’s something here. And I think we both have known it for a while too. I need you to choose me, tell me, you choose me. You have waited a long time for this to happen Alanna. This is what you want, right? I am asking you to choose. And why can’t you, you said you loved me. Is Nate that good, really? I look at him, blankly and surprised. I do love him. I have always. And I had done so much to prove it to him. Lost so much to be able to love him again
