"I love you," I said as I snuggled closer to Joe on the couch.

"Mhmm," he mumbled.

Honestly, I love Joe to death. But he never tells me he loves me. We were happy up until a few weeks ago. I don't know why, but he just stopped saying he loved me.

"Joe," I said turning to face him.

"Yes?" he asked.

"What's wrong with you?" I asked.

"What are you talking about?" He looked confused.

"I'm talking about how you've been acting," I said getting a little bit angry. "You've been acting different. Every time I say I love you, you just nod or something. Whatever happened to 'I love you, too'? Joe, I miss the old you!"

"I haven't changed, Elizabeth!" he said, also getting angry. "I love you, okay?"

He used my full name. That never happens...Unless he's angry with me.

"Yes you have changed, Joseph!" I yelled. "You don't ever talk to me the same anymore! Whenever I try to start small talk with you, you just shrug it off!"

"Maybe my feelings have changed!" he yelled back.

"Do you really mean that?" I asked with tears in my eyes.

"I don't know," he said. "I'm sorry, Lizzy. I just don't know."

"Well, if you don't know if you love me, I guess I'll be going," I said standing up.

"What are you doing?" he asked standing up as well.

"I'm going back to my apartment," I said trying not to cry.

"You can't just go," he said. "At least let me drive you there."

"It's only a block away," I said. "I'll be fine." I walked to the door and before closing it, I whispered, "Goodbye, Joseph."

I walked home in the rain. I gave up on trying not to cry. It was useless. I couldn't just forget the fact that my boyfriend didn't love me anymore. But I could try and ignore it. I would be in pain, but I could still try.

When I got home, I threw my jacket and shoes in my room. I went and sat on the couch and cried.

I decided to go try and clean up a bit. I realized that locking my door was useless. Joe had a key.

I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked like shit. I instantly got mad at myself for falling so in love with Joe. I reared back and punched the reflection of myself. Glass shattered everywhere. My knuckles were bleeding and so was my arm. Glass flew and cut it.

"Fuck!" I screamed as I grabbed a towel. I could feel myself losing more and more blood. I laid on the ground and held the towel to my arm and knuckles. I felt like I was about to pass out. I heard somebody coming.

"Elizabeth?" Joe asked. "Liz? Eliz-" He cut off whenever he saw me. "Liz! What happened?"

"I punched the mirror," I said in a weak voice. "I was mad at myself for falling in love with you. But what are you doing here?"

"Don't be," he said in tears. "I was coming to check on you. I unlocked your door and heard glass shatter. I also heard you scream, so I came to find you. I do love you, Lizzy. I'm sorry. I was just upset. The first time I didn't say 'I love you' back, you looked upset. I thought you would dump me. I was trying to be careful. I really do love you."

"Promise?" I asked.

"Elizabeth Renee Parker, I swear on my life," he said.

"Please, just stay with me," I said.

"I will," he said. "As long as you promise to marry me." He pulled out a beautiful diamond ring.

I looked him in the eyes and kissed him. "Joseph Adam Jonas, I promise."
