Lies.
"And you...you're just starting out. Your life is about homework and clothes and dances."
"That's all you think I care about?"
"No, of course not. Not entirely. But it's all part of your world. You're still growing up and figuring out who you are and what's important. You need to keep doing that. You need to be with boys your own age.
I didn't want boys my own age. But I didn't say that. I didn't say anything.
"Even if you choose not to tell, you need to understand that it was a mistake. And it isn't ever going to happen again," he added.
"Because you're too old for me? Because it isn't responsible?"
His face was perfectly blank. "No. Because I'm just not interested in you in that way."
I stared. The messages the rejection-came through loud and clear.
Everything from that night,everything I'd believed so beautiful and full of meaning,turned to dust before my eyes.
"It only happened because of the spell. Do you understand?"
Humiliated and angry, I refused to make a fool of myself by arguing or begging.
I just shrugged. "Yeah. Understood."
It was the only thing that I could do. She needed to have a life. And that with me wasn't possible. She was just starting.
But that hurt. Hurt so much. Lying to her was the worst thing that I'd ever did. It was my fault. I hadn't even realized when I began to fall for her.
I needed to keep my distance, especially after what had happened under the charm.
But another part of me so badly wanted to be with her. To be able to call her 'Roza.' To be able to care for her.
It was frustrating. She knew too much, far too much about me. It scared the shit out of me. But at the same moment it made me happy too.
How was I supposed to tutor her when I couldn't even stand near her? All the time, I had been shrugging it off as nothing while I had actually begun to fall in love with her.
This was just so new to me. And hell, as a twenty four year old I shouldn't have been getting worried about it. But I was a twenty four year old Guardian. Not just some other guy.
In that moment I had never felt so alone.
