Love in Separation

“Don’t ever imply that I’m running away from you because I wanted to be with him.” 


Jeremy’s cheek turned red as he looks at me. When he brings his eyes back up to me, I noticed him seeing something on my arm that made him do a double take. 


When I look at my hand, I noticed that my sleeve has hiked up from the sudden movement I made, making my scars visible. 


He immediately grab it and looked closely. “Why…” His only words. 


Before he could stare longer, I took my arm away and cover my scars. “Please… if you stay I may say something that might hurt the two of us. Just please give me time… I’m not ready to see you or talk to you just yet.” 


When I walk back to the cabin, I stayed by the door unmoving as I try to calm myself down and wipe the tears that stream out of my eyes. 


As my hand reaches for the doorknob, I suddenly heard their voices talking, making me stop moving. 


“Did you have fun today?” Drayce asks.
