  "Why don't you want me to meet her? Is it because you're going to leave me again and you're afraid to realize that you still love her than me?" I arched my eyebrow at him.

  "Tate..." He holds my wrist.

  "It's fine. If you don't want to then I'm not gonna force you anymore." I answer him.

  "Tate." His grip tightens so I look back at him.
