JAMES
"I won't let you end this, Rose. I just won't." I clench my jaw in anger.
This was madness.
How could she ask me to forget about everything that has happened?
To forget the strange feelings I get when it comes to her?
To forget about her completely?
I refuse to listen to her.
"But James, you don't understand-" She tries to speak, but I don't let her.
"Understand what?" I raise my voice. "That you want to end this?"
When I get no answer, I continue.
"Answer me this, Rose. Do you care about me?"
"What? James, of course I do." She immediately says but I'm not done.
"Do I mean nothing to you at all? Does our friendship mean nothing?!" My voice starts to waver as I speak and I press a fist to my mouth.
This girl had a power over me without even knowing it.
"You do mean something! I care about you." She says quietly.
I could hear the sound of her cries as she spoke.
I want to apologise, but I need to know the truth.
Blinking my tears away, I continue.
"Do you really? Because it doesn't seem like you do."
"I do!" She exclaims.
"Then why?" I shake my head. "Why, princess?"
Looking down at the floor, I hold my face in my hand.
Why was she doing this?
I was trying to understand her reasons for doing this, but nothing made sense.
"I'm not worthy of your friendship." She mumbles and I grow furious at her words.
"And why the hell not?" I hiss in response.
Rose simply sighs in response.
"You'll know when you meet me."
My eyes grow wide at her answer.
"Rose, are you-" I start, unable to believe her words.
"Yes," She sighs. "But not tight now. I need time."
With a frown, I ask. "Why are you agreeing to meet now?"
I didn't want her to feel pressured about meeting up with me.
I would wait as long as she needed me to.
"Because nothing I say will make you change your mind. She exhales. "And because I don't want to loose you." She adds on quietly.
"I don't want to loose you either." I say to her.
I never want to loose her.
And I would make sure of that.
The sound of Rose sniffling distracts me and I smile.
"Don't cry." I tell her.
"I'm just crying a little." She clears her throat. "I thought I was going to loose you."
