TWENTY TWO

Ariel

I fucking love you Ariely" he said

" What?" I heard myself gasp out, I look up at him..I knew my eyes looked like it was about to pop...he cupped my face in his hands.." I said I love you Ariel" he repeat.

Shutting my eyes..I felt a tear slip out. Removing my face from his palms ..I shook my head...no this can't be.. covering my face with my palms...I cried...I really wanted to believe him..my heart wanted to believe him but he had proved to the highest length that he didn't love me and suddenly he loved me?

"Ar-Ariel..I'm sorry. Is it something I said.. please don't cry ..I-I am sorry" he stuttered out.. wiping my tears "you don't mean that Jared..you don't need to lie to make me happy ok..stop lying to me. We have been through enough and I just want us to spend the remaining little time I have here in peace" I whispered with my head down.
