Birds chirped outside as I opened my heavy eyes.
I got up from the floor, my ass was crashed. I grabbed some clothes and took a long shower.
When I was ready my phone chirped.
" Yeah?"
" We got a problem." Abby said.
Shit.
Don't tell me.
" What happened?" I asked
" Brett is heading to where you are."
I sighed.
" He won't find me."
A knock on my door startled me.
Don't tell me.
I opened the door slowly.
" Do you know how much I was worried asshole?"
" It seems he did." Abby chuckled from the other side of the phone.
" We still on for today." Abby said before hanging up.
I looked at Brett who looked dead pissed. I rolled my eyes and walked into the room.
" What the hell Raven?" He said closing the door behind him.
" Its early Brett, don't shout."
He sighed.
" That's the way you solve your problems ? Running away?"
" You don't know me Brett." I said getting angrier by the second.
" Did you give me the time to ? I want to get to know you but you ran away by the first fight."
" First fight ? You shouted and insulted my sorry ass life Brett , I know I have a sorry ass life ,thank you for making it clear now."
He put his hand on his face and rubbed his eyes.
" I am sorry about that , I didn't mean it like that."
" Sure you didn't."
" Do you hear yourself ? I am trying to tell you how sorry I am and you don't even give me the chance."
" I don't care about you Brett."
He shut his mouth. There , that is the only way. I can't get close.
" You think I don't know what you are doing?"
" What ?"
" You are pushing away everyone ,just because you are scared to get to know someone."
" Its not that Brett , now please leave."
" Not until you tell me."
" Tell you what ? That I am scared to get to know you just because I care enough not to put you in danger?"I shouted without thinking.
Shit.
" What ?" Brett said.
I shook my head and grabbed the bags and put everything in.
Brett grabbed my hand.
" Talk to me." He said.
His face was close again.
" No" I said.
I struggled to get loose of his grip but it was too strong.
" Talk to me Raven."
" No."
" God dammit."
He pushed me , my back hit the bed and he was on top of me.
" What is going on Raven? Please talk to me." He pleaded.
" Why?"
" Why what?"
" Why do you even care , its only been two days."
He loosed his grip. He doesn't know either.
This time he put his hand on my cheek.
" I know too much that stare to look away." He said.
His eyes looked sad.
We looked at each other , neither of us dared to break the stare.
His face lowered , he was just an inch away.
I put a hand on his lips.
" Don't get involved Brett , please."
He took my hand in his.
" I already am , the moment I saw how lonely you are."
How can he be so sure ? His eyes make me feel like a little kid.
I shook my head.
" You aren't and that's why I need you to walk away Brett, before its too late."
He grinned.
"What?"
" You said you didn't care about me ,so why are you so concerned ?"
I shut my mouth.
" You care right ? Don't tell me you don't feel something here."
He touched my cheek again, I couldn't help but shiver by his touch.
" It doesn't matter."
" Hell , it does."
" No , it doesn't Brett. Look I am tired of this please just go."
" You are coming with me , Abby is waiting for you. If you don't want anything to do with me I get it but you came here for your family right ? So don't leave her alone."
He stood and outstretched his hand to me.
I know if I take his hand , I won't be able to let go. I won't be able to leave.
" Its okay ." He smiled down to me.
Somehow even though I am scared to get him and the others involved , I can't help but grab his soft and strong hand.
" There." He pulled me to him.
His nose touched mine.
" I will be able to break your walls one day , I am not gonna leave you alone , Raven."
Tears filled my eyes.
I just broke my last rule.
" Come here." He said and pulled me into his arms.
Never has someone held me like this ,maybe that's why I feel so safe in his arms.
" You feel the connection between us right ?" Brett said.
I nodded.
" Tell me."
" Yeah , I do."
I couldn't help but admit it , there is a connection and that is why I can't let him get involved with me anymore.
