When she left, I moved myself from the bed and onto the floor. I brought my chest to my knees and took deep breaths. The walls did not seem as bright or the right exact shade of green as I stared at them. I closed my eyes after a while and let my head fall back onto the bed.

When I opened them again, I noticed something sticking out from under the bed so I reached out and grabbed it. Pete the Second was lying there on the ground. The stuffed panda that Stone had won for me after I went on the Ferris wheel with him.

I sat the stuffed animal on my knees and bit my shaking lip before I eventually picked myself up from the floor and dropped the panda onto the bed. I picked up my bag and got ready to go.

Footsteps came from the door so as I zipped the bag with my school supplies, I did not bother to look at who was there before I spoke "I will be there in a second. I hope you never found any love zones."

I turned around and my eyes widened at who was standing there.

The person standing there took up the whole space of the doorway. His head hung slightly low because if he rose to his full height then he would hit the top of the wood with his head. He had his hand leaning on the door and by the way his veins bulged, he was holding on tightly. His obsidian eyes were trained on my bag with a scowl.

"How did you know?" I started playing with a strand of my hair to distract myself from going to him.

"You are the worst liar." He mentioned with a scary frown "I called you to make sure you were heading back and it was the boy who answered."

I raised a brow "Charlie?"

Stone nodded and his fist lightly tapped the wall in a rhythm "He answered. Told me you were packing your things."

"It is for the best." I gulped after saying it because I did not think my lungs were working properly "Please just leave me alone. I am just trying to make this easier."

"Easier for who?" He retaliated in his demanding tone.

Running a hand through my hair and pulling it back from my shoulders, I walked over to the door with my bag in hand "You need to let me go. I can't—"

He stopped me from leaving the room as his wide shoulders blocked my path. His large hand reached out and brushed over my face. He moved a green strand of hair behind my ear before his thumb flicked over my lip.

"I love you. Relentlessly." He rasped out "I am not going anywhere."

Silence fell between us. All I could hear was the sound of my heavy breathing and if it was possible then the sound of my heart breaking.
