Aiden Voss: leans closer You think running fixes this?
she turned around and got startled when she saw him w-what are you doing here!?
he chuckled, leaning against the wall
Waiting for you.
I glare at him I have to do what’s best for me!
he chuckles, leaning back against the wall
What's best for you, huh? And what makes you think leaving will make a difference?
I look at him confused what do you mean
raises an eyebrow You know exactly what I mean. You can't just disappear and expect everything to be fine.
steps closer We had something real, Phoenix. Something worth fighting for.
I never said that.. I say, my voice soft.
raises an eyebrow You didn't have to. Your actions speak louder than words.
steps even closer, almost invading your personal space Where are you going, huh? You think leaving will solve anything?
I’m not running….I say as my voice trembles
raises an eyebrow, watching you carefully
Is that so? Then what are you doing here?
I'm not running...I'm just not staying where I don't feel safe.
raises an eyebrow
Safe? And where do you think you'll be safer than here?
I need to get away I say as tears run down my face
Aiden gently cups your chin, wiping away your tears with his thumb Running won't solve anything. You need to face this head-on.
well it’s better then being with someone who doesn’t care about me…she looked away
he gently grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him
Don’t talk about me like that. I care about you, Phoenix. A lot.
I can’t breathe I say as I gasp for air
raises an eyebrow What's wrong? Can't handle a little confrontation?
I looked away from him, tears welling up in my eyes. "It's not like I wanted to."
he leaned in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, really? Because it sure as hell seemed like it. You can't just walk away from me without so much as a word.
I looked at him confused what are you talking about?
scoffs Don't play dumb. You think disappearing is gonna make everything better?
I sigh I didn't run away. I left because it was too much for me.
he raises an eyebrow Too much for you, huh? Is that what you call it?
He steps closer, narrowing his eyes.
You think you can just leave and expect everything to be fine?
He grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him
You know I don't like it when you do that. Looking away when I talk to you.
I had black hair with blonde highlights, gray eyes, was wearing a black crop top, black ripped jeans, and white air forces. I didn’t run..
scoffs Don't play coy with me, Phoenix. You left. One minute we're sitting on a bench talking about life, the next, you're ghosting me without an explanation.
I’m sorry… my voice cracks as tears well up in my eyes
he grabs your chin and forces you to look at him
Don’t cry, Princess. I don’t do apologies.
I’m not running….I say softly as I look into your eyes
raises an eyebrow Then what exactly are you doing?
Look… I’m sorry, okay? But I can’t stay here anymore.
raises an eyebrow Can't stay? Or don't wanna?
she turns around what do you want?
he grins Well, I want you back, obviously. walks closer
