"Your leaving me." His pain was clearly visible on his face and in his beautiful green eyes. I looked away and froze just where I was the large quilted bed between us, he stood by the window and I shifted my weight on the other side of the bed. I could feel his eyes boring into me, no not boring, they were to anguished with pain to bore into me, it was more like they saw threw me. I was so sure in that moment that he knew me, every thought dream and feeling I had. I was stupid to believe I could convince him, convince myself that I wasn't still in love with him. I allowed myself a glance at his face but regretted it strongly. I opened my mouth to say the words, I don't love you anymore, but my lips would not form the words, they stayed sealed, my thoughts locked away inside them. I love someone else. I thought but again I could not say them, surely this was some sort of sigh, I began to think, but immediately stopped, if I allowed myself to think, or hope there was a chance…

I shifted my weight to my other foot and looked away from him, a chance to compose myself. I inhaled deeply through my nose and made my face neutral, I wanted to be firm, but not cruel. "Jack," I said softly and my voice shook, so I took another breath before I continued. "I-" He was there so quickly, so close to my face, his cool breath washed over my cheeks, and his eyes locked onto mine. Indescribable pain, but shielded with firm determination was in his beautiful eyes. I struggled to keep my heart steady and exhaled shakily. My breath in return washed over his face, and his eyes slipped closed, he stepped forward his body crushing against mine. He raised his hand hesitantly towards my face, watching me carefully, not sure if this is what I wanted. "I have always loved you." He breathed. His words so soft I barely heard them. "I don't want to lose you." He murmured pulling my face up to his. Lose me I thought and I remembered why I was here. You were always going to lose me, always, it's been unavoidable from the beginning, we both knew it. You were always going to lose me. I sent my hurried thoughts to him. And I was always going to lose you to Mimi. I added sadly. He took his hands away and stepped back the slightest bit. The pain twisted on his face was unbearable, so I looked down, away from his green eyes. I rested my hands on his chest and I felt it rise and fall unevenly against my palms. I hadn't realized my eyes were filled with tears until they spilled over. I raised my shaking hand to wipe them away, but his raised faster to clutch mine in his own. "You were never lost to her, I've only loved you, you must know that." He said softly but hurried, he could feel me slipping away and he struggled to hold on. "We can be together, you must know it, in your heart you can feel it. I will find a way to break the bond. I will never leave you." I shook my head, the tears splashing onto my cheeks. His hands were on either side of my face forcing me to look into his eyes. "I love you, and I know you feel the same for me." His last words were strong and quick, just barely finishing his thought before his lips were crushed to mine. With each kiss we saw into each others heads, I saw how much he truly loved me and he saw how much I wanted to be with him, but my hopes were crushed by, what seemed like the whole universe going against us. Or just the power of his dreadful twin sister.
