"No! Let me go!" He struggled to break free of my grasp but I just held him tighter, hugging him and holding his arms down.
"Please don't!"
"Why do you still care about me? I thought you were a Barrel!"
"I am a Barrel, but I still have feelings!"
"But you know I'm a Bro, you should hate me! You should want me dead!"
Not knowing what else to say a tear fell down my cheek.
"Why do you want me to live, Gabrielle?" By now he had stopped struggling but I still held him close, trying to stop myself from crying.
"I don't know."
"Cause I can guarantee that any other Barrel would've watched me fall to my death. So why didn't you?"
I turned around, not wanting to face him. "I don't know!"
Just as I said that he hugged me from behind. "You know what the other Barrels will do to you when they find out you saved a Bro. You're risking your life for me!"
I turned around, hugging him back. "…I know."
"We have to run!"
