If Only
“Wait-“, I swear my heart skipped a beat. I had a feeling he was going to ask me.
I turned my head slowly. For a moment it was silent, just me and those deep blue eyes.
“Uhm, Annalise, I-I”, he froze.
It was dark, the silver moonlight gently brushed his his chestnut brown hair.
It was perfect, almost.
“I like you, no I just don’t like you, I love you”, his calming voice made me melt.
“And I understand if you don’t feel the same way I just thought-“
I couldn’t listen to him anymore, it hurt me too much. I ran, leaving him there alone.
Tears stream down my eyes as I run, the sand in front of me appears to be endless. Minutes pass and my legs begin to feel tired.
“I can’t do this anymore!”, shouted into my earpiece. I fell in love with the guy I was meant to kill.
“You must, do it, for me”, the harsh voice of my dad responded, I could sense he was not happy.
“Goodbye, dad”, I rip the tiny microphone from my ear and throw it behind me.
I have nowhere to go, but I don’t care. If I can’t be with Ethan I don’t want to exist at all.
