Pure Perfection

JULIANA'S POV

"Can we talk?" I asked Tyberias as he got home from work.

"Sure" he smiled and we sat down on our bed

"I've made my decision, Tyberias and I... I can't keep seeing you after you get married, Tyberias" I said softly.

"W-What do you mean?"

"You're going to be married tomorrow and I have to respect that"

"But I don't love her, I love you" he said and pulled me closer to him. I noticed his eyes began to water.

"I know, maybe when this whole thing blows over we can be together again. But I'm not going to be with a married man." I said and my eyes also began watering.

"P-please. Don't do this. I love you."

"And I love you. So much. But every time I see you, I'll just be reminded that your not mine anymore, you're hers. A-And I can put myself through that" I said and tears began flowing down my eyes.

He didn't say anything and just pulled me into his chest. I could hear him sniffing from above me, but he was probably trying to keep his tears in.

"I love you, Juliana. I will always love you, no matter who I'm married to." His voice cracked.

"I know... but I have to put myself first, Tyberias. So, I'm leaving. Tomorrow, I'm taking myself and Estella somewhere far. And maybe in the future, if you're no longer with her anymore, you can come find us again. But right now, I just don't want to put myself through anymore pain." I said softly as my tears blurred my vision.

"Please don't leave me. I'll do anything. I'll stop playing on the PlayStation so much, I'll stop buying you expensive gifts when you tell me not to. I won't make fun of your height anymore. I'll stop assuming you're upset because of your period and not because I messed up. Please, Juliana. I'll do anything." He desperately whispered and squeezed me tighter. Hearing him say this broke my heart even more.

I tried to speak but I couldn't, the knot on my throat was bigger than ever before. The only things that were coming out my mouth were soft whimpers.

He gently brought down his lips of mine. It wasn't a fast, rough kiss like what we were used to. This kiss was slow, passionate, full of raw emotion. It was a kiss that poured all of our feelings into each other.

A kiss that signified the end of our relationship.

I could taste his salty tears as I flicked my tongue over his lips.

Just let me be with you one last time. Let me pretend that you'll always be mine, even if it's just
