Why?

You turn around to smile and beckon me over.

Why do you do this to me?

You frown in concern at my silent behaviour.

"Is something wrong?"

"Of course not." I smirk to cover the chink in my façade.

Why does this happen every time?

You turn to go and tug impatiently on my sleeve to pull me along.

"Wait. I—" You stop and turn expectantly at me, waiting for whatever I want to say, but it never comes out. "Nevermind." You frown at first but I smile softly at you and you forget it to smile brightly back.

How? Every single time. Why am I getting so hung up on a brat like you?

"Come on then. Let's go!" I smile, resigned. You would never like me that way.

So for now, I'm just happy that you know I exist.

I watch you turn and run off. And as I run to catch up with you, I think,

For now, I'm just happy being by your side.


Oh my gosh, I'm soo bad! In Meine Liebe book 4, there's an extra at the back about Augusta and Eduard and as I was reading it, this popped up in my head. I just HAD to do this. You can imagine whatever you like, but its meant to be Russell and Edward. Russ' POV.

Btw, "text" is Edward and "text" is Russell. And text is Russell's thoughts. Please review your thoughts on this.
