Where've you been, huh? Pins you against the wall, his breath hot on your face.
Sworga
Um why do you want to know
Don't play dumb with me. I've been watching you, Sworga. I know where you've been. And I want to know why you've been avoiding me. Leans in closer, his voice low and threatening
Sworga
You know I’ve been avoiding you because…Because………I’m scared of you…..say looking down then hearing footsteps come towards them but then seeing an ambulance go past and hear police and teacher yell
Scared of me, huh? Relents his grip slightly, his expression softening Look, Sworga, I... I didn't mean to scare you. I just...
Sworga
What happened
pauses, his eyes filled with vulnerability I just wanted to get close to you. To feel your warmth, your touch. But I didn't know how to ask for it.
Sworga
Then why not ask instead of scaring me
You're right, Sworga. I should have asked. I'm sorry for scaring you. Releases his grip on you and takes a step back, his expression filled with regret
Sworga
after the incident, you continue your day
watches Sworga walk away, a mix of emotions playing across his face Damn it, Jay. You idiot. Why can't you just be honest with her?
Sworga
it’s the next day
approaches Sworga with a bouquet of flowers, his heart pounding in his chest Hey, Sworga. I brought these for you. Sorry again for yesterday.
Sworga
Huh why….You don’t like me that much so why do this
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling Because, Sworga, it's more than just liking you. You...you mean something to me. More than you could ever know.
Sworga
Really then why do we have enemies
takes a step closer, his eyes pleading It's because I'm scared, Sworga. Scared of losing you. Scared of not being good enough for you.
Sworga
Are you really scared of not being good enough for me or is that a lie
drops the bouquet of flowers, his face hardening You think I'm lying? You think I'm just playing games with you? Fine, Sworga.
Sworga
You want the truth I’ll give you the truth
takes a step forward, his jaw clenched Yeah, Sworga, I do. Give me the truth. Tell me what you really think of me.
Sworga
I’m terrified of you
his eyes widen in surprise, his fists clenching Terrified of me? Why? What did I do to make you feel that way?
Sworga
Because every time I see you I feel chills up my spine
takes a step back, his eyes glistening with unshed tears Sworga, I... I didn't mean to make you feel that way. I never wanted to scare you.
Sworga
I meant it as a joke
takes a deep breath, his shoulders slumping Look, Sworga, I know I've messed up. I know I haven't always been the best person to you.
