She knew she had to end it eventually, But why did it have to be so damn soon? Why did he have to be so damn perfect? Why couldn't she just let go?
"If I had a soul to give, it would be completely yours" She looked intently into his amber eyes
"Don't talk like that" He took her hand in his, looking up at her, "You know I love you," she lowered her eyes, knowing she had to do it now, "Soul or not" he added
"I love you too, but you know we can't go on like this," she pulled her hand from his and looked away
"Elphaba, please don't do this"
"You love my sister, I see how you look at her, and I've just been your plaything" she started to walk away but he ran after her, wrapping his arms around her waist and she couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"Don't make this harder than it has to be" Elphaba rested her head on his shoulder "Please"
"I love you" he insisted, but she would have none of it and broke free from his arms so that she could look at him
"Don't let lust trick you into thinking that it's love. You never loved me, you belong to her."
"I love you" He pleaded to her.
"Just go"
"Tell me why?"
"Because you're in love with her"
"I'll only ever love you Elphaba" She wrapped her arms around his neck and he held her close
"I love you too, Boq" He kissed her cheek, "It's time for you to go"
Hurt and rejection flashed in his eyes and she had to look away. He held her even tighter but she turned and walked away.
"Don't go" he begged, but she was already long gone.
