Barely Breathing

Chapter 12: Trust me, I'll catch you

Silence engulfed the air as we kept staring into each other.

"You…I want what's mine."

‘Come on Willow don't just stare, say something!’ I averted my eyes and stared elsewhere, when my vision fell to my bedside table where the white rose laid, crushed into pieces. Beside it laid the necklace he gave me.

He must have seen it because his face hardened. Great. That's it. Now think... Crushed rose… Crushed hope...

"I don't want you." I blurted.

Hurt flashed in his face but he quickly hides it. He was back to being unreadable, which makes it hard to read his thoughts. He had completely hidden well his emotions from me. His hold loosens a bit and I took a step back. Glad for the space between us.

He deserves that after fooling me for so long. I am not forgetting any of it. And I don't do pity.

"You'll learn it, I promise you." With that, he walked over to my closet and took my clothes, throwing them to the bed.

"Wait! What are you doing?" My eyes were as big as saucers now. An alarm rang in my head, this can't be happening.

"Packing your things." He opened another drawer and I saw him pulling out my t-shirts and tossed them to the bed too.

“Are you banishing me from this pack?" I asked, hopeful. Maybe, just maybe.
