I don't like you, I love you.


We stood face to face. It was his last day here. I would miss him if he left me alone. I stared directly into his eyes and asked him…

"Do you like me?"

"No, Claire."

"Do you think I'm pretty?"

"No."

"Am I in your heart?"

"No Claire…"

"Would you cry if I walked away?"

He took a deep breath before he answered. "No."

I walked away crying. My heart had just been broken into a million pieces by the one I loved the most. My small steps turned into a jog, and from a jog they turned into a run. "Claire!" He called out, chasing after me. It didn't matter anymore, I was nothing to him. I never was. I immediately lost him when I ran through the crowd of people at the beach.

I made it all the way to Mothers Peak. I stood at the tip, crying my eyes out. He placed a hand on me and made me face him.

"Claire, I didn't say I like you, because I love you. I didn't say you were pretty because you are beautiful. I didn't say you were in my heart because you are my heart. I didn't say I would cry if you walk away because I would die if you did." I stared directly into his eyes. "I love you, Claire." I hugged him once more before we walked hand in hand to the beach. He was leaving. I couldn't stop it. I wouldn't.

He walked over to the boat to one of the sailors. He walked back to me and said, "I'm leaving, but I will be in time for Christmas." I hugged him once more. "Here, Claire." he took of his purple bandana and hand it to me. "Keep it." He walked back the boat and waved before the boat departed.

" I love you too…Kai."


Authors Note: Aww, I go the inspiration after i read the qoute on another website. I think it fits in well with Kai and Claire. Please review what you think about it. My other story about ClaireXKai has to be on hold cause i don't have time to write new chapters. I will write what happens later in the future to them after he returns.
