This one-shot is based on my true life (partially). I was in love with my best friend and this is what ended up happening. It literally broke my heart. Please, do not flame this. ~Samie

Love's Curse
"I-I just can't do this anymore. I'm sorry" I managed to squeak out before the tears started to fall.
"Honey, just think for a minute. You really want to end this?" He said to me, gesturing between the two of us. At my silence, he held out his arms and walked towards me, trying to be my comfort to the storm. He always was.
"Don't touch me" I hissed. I couldn't take him touching me, it burned my skin and chipped at my heart. I couldn't do this to him, but if I wanted my sanity back, I had to.
"I don't love you" I whispered. He looked at me, heartbroken. His arms were still outstretched towards me, his body frozen in place. I tried holding back tears, tried not to break down, because that would mean falling back into the swirl of craziness that comes with being with him. My love.
"You don't mean that" He said, voice full of sadness, eyes pleading with me. Pleading that I would say I was lying.
I couldn't give him that; if I told him I was lying, we'd go back to how we were before: the perfect couple. I couldn't take that.
"I love someone else" I whispered, my voice barely audible, but I knew he heard it. That was partially true: I felt like if I had feelings for someone else, I wasn't being faithful to him. The feeling filled me with guilt. I couldn't even touch my love anymore, the pain was too much.
"I'm sorry" He looked away and slowly walked out, the door closing behind him with a small click.
I broke down, finally letting the traitor tears fall down my face. I had broken love's curse, I was free.
But at what cost?
