I said I wanted to be left alone. I screamed the words from my throat. They ripped the skin raw, making me rasp. I wanted you to leave.

You wouldn't leave my side. You stared impassively at me as the words belted your ears. They rang inside your mind, but not your "heart". You refused to move.

The others watched as I yelled my "heart" out at you. As I cried with anger when you refused to leave. As I broke down for everyone to see. They watched as you refused to hear me. As you saw my tears running down my face in disdain. As you reached to pick my shattered "heart" up.

They had turned me on you. They had told horrible tales about you... and I believed them. I knew you had your secrets that you haven't and maybe never would tell me. And I downright believed them. every. single. drop. of. it.

I had fallen to the floor, body tremulous as I sobbed. 'This isn't right!' I had choked out 'This. is. not. true!' But you didn't listen to a word. You picked me up and held onto me, despite my struggling, walking away from everyone.

You took me to your bedroom and settled me on the bed. I scrambled as soon as I hit the covers, burying myself under the pillows at the head of the bed. I whimpered as you took off your coat and sat down on the side of the bed.

You sighed and spoke.

'Someday, you will know all of me. you will know the lies and the truth. like when I say I love you...''

'Nobodies can't feel. They don't have hearts.' I interrupted as he paused. He chuckled sadly, as sad as someone without a "heart" can sound.

'I swear to whatever deity we may have that when we get our hearts Rox... I will show you how much I know I love you. then you can't deny I 'can't feel.' '

The promise rang true in the air. I sniffled and wiped the tears away from my eyes that were now red.

'I'm sorry.'

You turned to stare at me. I looked down at the pillow in my lap, bracing my eyes shut, ready for a hit, a punch, something. I felt the bed dip down as you came closer and closer. Then you stopped, this was it...

You hugged me. You held me tight and swore over and over that you loved me, that nothing could be more important than me. Even getting our hearts. Dying.

And it hurt. it cut deep in my nonexistent heart to hear that mournful talk murmuring from your throat. And I thought for a moment... Maybe we didn't need hearts after all.

We just needed each other.
