Four weeks have passed.
I sat there just staring looking into her eyes. She held eye contact to me but something was different this time. It felt.... wrong.'why? why? is she doing this? I can sense it, it's not right.'those thoughts run through my head over and over again, but what did I get? no response. well yes obviously, it's in my head. You know the feeling when you know something bad is gonna happen, that's what I felt.

"Andrew, for the past four months, all I thought was love. But it can't. It's called... I can't be with you. Two different people. You are fantastic. You don't know me as well as you think you do, even though I wish you did. There are things you should know about me that right now I can't even bring myself to accept. I don't know how, I just can't be in a relationship right now. is it's nothing to do with you I promise, it's me."I tried to hold his hand but with each step I took the further he went, the further away he got. I wanted to break down but I couldn't. And I couldn't explain it, but I just knew this relationship wouldn't be good for any of us. He has his s*** together, I have things to get through. just wouldn't work.I waited for his response but nothing. no, even a why or what did I do wrong. that was him I guess.
Andrew step forward and glares right at me. then his hot raspy voice whisper, "So I guess that is it isn't it huh?"I wold have found that voice unresistible if not for the situation that we are in, but I bow my head as no other words came to mind.Before I knew it, he lean in a whispers, "at least I should get a final kiss shouldn't I?"
As those words escaped his mouth, my heart skipped a beat, my breathing quickened, and all I wanted to do was kiss him—so much.But the buzz on my phone brought me back to reality. And after, I pushed away from Andrew, and I left him there.

Whatever drove me to lean in for the kiss, I don't know.But as she left me standing, I trailed after her.And there he was. A guy in a dark red shirt, contrasting the bright hallway. She walks up to him, and they walk off with his veiny hand around her shoulder.And then, it clicked. She pulled an Emily.
I walked back into the classroom. The eerie presence seemed to grow as she left.And then, the name I thought I'd never say again came into my mind. Emily. The girl that left me.The words, the "no," this is the reason why this left. And all the moments we had, all the kisses we shared, all other feelings that we shared together... it all came rushing in.I couldn't be too mad at Maddie. She broke up with me, at least face-to-face. But it made me question: who is that guy? Did she just lie? And what was the thing she couldn't tell me?But I decided this time—this time—we're not going to sit back. So I'm gonna find the reason. I am going to make sure, make sure that she understands my love and she can give me a reasonable explanation to why she is choosing to deny her feelings too
