It was his fault. The way she was, the way she acted out, the way she was constantly angry and emotional; sarcastic even. She didn't show it too much, as she still tried to be friendly enough to those that surrounded her; those she didn't know. But she was still far from the young girl she used to be and it was all because of a boy. It was all because he decided to treat her like a punching bag. He did this to her. It was his fault.

It was her fault.

Why did she allow him to be that way toward her? Why didn't she leave after the first time he struck her? Why wasn't she strong enough? She must have done something wrong. She must have been a bad girlfriend. Surely that was why he hit her right? It was her first relationship. She wasn't completely sure how to act. Krystina just wanted to be loved; for him to love her. She was young, yes, but she was sure she loved him. She was sure he would be her everything. So why was he so cruel? Why did she have to make him so angry all the time? Maybe she should have just done what he said. Maybe she should have gave herself to him. Would that have made things better? 

Krystina could remember it like it was yesterday. The fighting, the bruises, sometimes even the busted lip. She always had to lie about it. 'Oh, I'm such a klutz' she would say. Or 'I ran into the wall'. Sometimes she would claim to have taken a tumble down the stairs. All to protect him. Or... was it to protect herself? Sometimes she couldn't figure out what determined the thin line between the two. Either way, she never told anyone. She never made him pay for how he treated her; for how he hurt her. She never stood up to him. Where would that have gotten her? Surely in a worse position. 

It was a bit late, but still not past curfew. The sun was starting to set in the sky as Krystina made her way toward the black lake, her hands in her pockets and her feet shuffling as her eyes watched the ground she tread upon. She had just got out of detention, and honestly it wasn't all that bad. She had met a new person, possibly a potential friend. She wasn't sure. She was never fully trusting at first, which meant it would probably take a couple more times of meeting this boy to actually call him friend; to even give him an ounce of trust. But he was nice enough and they seemed to have a few things in common.

Reaching the black lake, Krys sighed as so many haunting thoughts ran through her head, causing her stomach to clench and her chest to burn with the familiar anxiety she knew so well. She soon found herself under a tree, sitting atop the grass that laid beneath it, her legs crossed and her chin resting in her hands as she peered out at the lake. All she wanted was to forget and the pain to go away. Was that so much to ask?

PARDON ME BUT YOU SAID THAT YOU'D ALWAYS LOVE ME

❝

Daniel was starting to second guess his choice to move to move to Britain, the classes were all boring and Manchester was too loud. Still he knew exactly what was at stake should he choose to go back to Austria. Even he knew his infatuation with Krys was more than a school yard crush. She stirred his emotions and made him happy, he just didn't understand her train of thought. He had long since came to the conclusion that she was unlike any of the girls back at Durmstrang, or Austria. Sometimes he just wished she was a bit more...compliant.

Perhaps he did need to control his temper and maybe it was all his fault, but surely she knew that running never solved anything. Logically it wasn't her fault that her parents moved, but she hadn't even said goodbye. Daniel never did like people with poor manners and he was left wondering why she was being so difficult. His letters were being ignored and he was too polite to just show up at her house unannounced. This really was the best course of action, now he just had to convince her that it was better if they were together.

Shoving his hands in his pants pocket he kicked a pebbled as he walked along the path to the black lake. As cold as it was, it was much colder in Vienna and he did miss his old haunts. Why did she have to move schools, it would be so much easier for them if they were back at Durmstrang. The plus side was he did get a spot on the quidditch team, a little peace of his life back at Durmstrang. When he finally reached the lake he saw a familiar head of red hair and smiled. He had been looking for her all week but according to the people he asked the new girl kept getting detention.

Walking over to the tree he stopped and sat down to the side of her, so many things he wanted to say but none of them would make the situation better. No anger No anger, Keep calm he repeated in head, losing his temper would do neither of them any good and they were in a public place. Keeping his voice normal and hiding any hint of anger he might have felt, he finally spoke


"Hey Krys"

She wasn't expecting it. Krys wasn't expecting any company at all. And she was definitely not expecting his company. All she wanted was peace and quiet. All she asked for was some time alone and that's what she had until she heard footsteps. However, she didn't pay the person any mind. She wasn't concerned enough to see who it was. In her mind, it was probably just another student wandering around. They probably wouldn't even bother her. She was the new girl no one knew except for the fact she was always getting herself sent to detention. Who cared what people thought of her? They had no clue what she was feeling or what was going through her mind when she did anything wrong. They didn't know her story and they never would. It was her secret; one she never wanted to share because it was too painful to speak about, to even think about. Every time she did, she only felt the pain ten fold. She wanted it to stop. She wanted it to go away. She only wanted to be okay again. 

That would not be the case for her, as fate was not on her side; the odds were not in her favor. They never had been and they never would be. He sat next to her, the familiar smell of him reaching her ever so quickly. She would know that smell anywhere. Krystina would know that hint of cologne if she were miles away. It was one of the things that enticed her about him; one of the things she always loved to smell. Not anymore. Now it only made her sick. Now, it sent shivers down her spine and made her heart race. But not from enamor or love. No. It was from panic. From pure anxiety that she would forever feel because of him. Because he was her weakness. He was her kryptonite. He was the one that could pull her down and keep her there until he allowed her up again.

His voice rang out, ever so smoothly; ever so haunting. He couldn't be there. For Merlin's sake she hoped it was just a horrible nightmare. Her head slowly turned in his direction, her brown eyes locking on the raven haired boy beside her, only inches and very in reach. Her breathing picked up, but only slightly. Keep it together Krystina. Don't show fear. Don't show any emotion. Why was he there? Was he stalking her? How did he know where she was? "Daniel." Her voice was barely audible. It took all she had just to muster up his name. She was shaking. She was starting to feel that. How would she be able to get away from him? She needed so desperately to be out of his presence. "It's been a... while."

Daniel bit back a sigh, she didn't seem happy to see him. Well if he was her truthfully speaking he wouldn't be ecstatic to see him either. He nodded, her words sounded rehearsed and refused to see the similarity between the way his mother spoke to his father and the way she spoke to him. If he did he might have realized how much he screwed up, not that he would care. He had one goal and on thing in mind and that was getting her back.

"Yeah, my father got a new job here, and I transfered."

That wasn't completely a lie, his father had gotten a new job and he he did transfer, he just had more to with move then he let on. What she didn't know wouldn't hurt her, of course lying wasn't solving the problem either. She was a smart girl and could probably tell he was lying. Why else would he want to move from popularity to being new, if not for her? She should be happy, flattered he was giving up things for her, considering she never did what he asked. However, that train of thought would get them nowhere but into a fight.

"I missed you...you know you never said goodbye."

He tried not to sound angry he really did but some of it might if slipped out. He was incredibly hurt because she didn't say goodbye, he didn't think he was that bad of a person. He didn't mention the letters, she had every right to want to be angry at him, but anger never warranted rudeness or disrespect. He ran his hand through his hair, making his hair a bit more messy than it already was. She just made him so mad sometimes, it wasn't her fault though...she couldn't help it. He just had to control his temper, however it was easier said than done.

"How have you been?"

Her mind was running rapidly, screaming at her to leave; to get away from the boy that sat beside her. The boy that held her in place because she was so afraid if she made any sudden movements, he would strike again. She barely caught his next words to her, about his father, but she definitely heard them and she wasn't sure she believed him. How could she after everything he had put her through? Krys wasn't sure she would ever trust the boy she loved again. But then, did she truly love him? Wasn't a relationship built on trust? It was all so confusing to her and yet she wondered what it would be like to have him back in her life, like they used to be. What if he had changed? What if he came to her to show her that, deep down, he truly was sorry and was different. No. That couldn't be true. One didn't change in such a short period of time. Not someone like Daniel. Not someone that didn't care how he affected her and hurt her. "Oh... I see?" She asked, the doubt clear in her voice even though she tried hard to hide it. Just hearing the words and tone slip from her lips, made her even more cautious as she shifted uncomfortably in her spot.

Those words, the ones every girl wanted to hear from the one boy they cared about. I've missed you. How lovely it sounded coming from his mouth; the lips that stole her first kiss. She was drowning. Drowning in fear and confusion; in the fact she didn't want to be pulled back in, yet she had been so attached to him it was hard to let go. She was sure she was never going to have to see him again, but there he was. He was only inches from her and there was nothing she could do about it. She honestly couldn't say she missed him back, because she didn't want to feel that way. She didn't want to admit that part of her did, but more than ninety percent didn't. Her inner demons ate away at her, making her question everything, making her wonder what she had gotten herself into. "I..." She started, her words stuttering. Her mind trying to come up with a reason, any reason as to why she didn't say goodbye other than the fact she didn't want to and wanted to forget all about him. "It was a last minute decision." A lie. "To move I mean. I had no time to." Another lie. Would he see through it, or would he believe her?

The anger was apparent though, in his voice when he spoke to her. Part of her could see he was trying, while the other part refused to believe it. But knowing there was any hint of anger, made her question her decision to lie. If he saw through it, she'd be in trouble. And then came another question; one she wasn't sure how to answer. Krys knew she'd have to lie again, because she was far from okay. "I'm... doing alright." But even though she answered, she was ready to make a move. The young gryffindor was not going to sit there and act like it was okay. She was not even going to ask how he was. She needed to leave and get to the common room where he couldn't get to her. Slowly, she rose from the ground, her eyes staying on him as she did so. "But, hey, I really need to go. I have some homework to catch up on. Maybe I'll see you around some other time." She told him, hoping he would just let her go. Inwardly screaming of fear, she made herself turn from him and start to walk off. Don't follow me. Don't follow me. Don't follow me.

❝

In all honesty Daniel wasn't expecting her to be thrilled he was there he knew that there was a possibility that she didn't want to see him. He just simply didn't care, well not exactly...he cared for her, he honestly did. She was just being difficult. Even as she accepted his lie, he could she didn't believe him and the proceeded to lie to him in return. He didn't mind though, he had lied to her start with, he could be fair. Though as the conversation progressed, his anger increased.

"You could've written you know, I was really worried"

He wasn't as accepting if her the second time, he didn't understand why she couldn't just tell him the truth. Of course her lying lead him to believe she was hiding something from him. Perhaps she left for a different reason...like some other guy. He swallowed down the jealousy induce anger that was bound to spill from his mouth stuffed his hands in his jacket. They would be safe there, out of the way and she wouldn't be able to see how they clenched into fist. control your anger control your anger

She moved, it wasn't her fault but he could tell when she was lying. He had hoped it wouldn't be like this, his anger ruling most of the conversation. He wanted to show her he could control his temper and that he wouldn't hurt her again. He wasn't stupid, he knew she was probably scared of him but fear didn't erase love did it? He was sure he loved her, and he knew she still cared for him, they just needed to get past the past.

"That's good, how are your parents?"

He wanted to have a decent conversation with her, he was determined to be nice but she looked ready to bolt. Then she made some ridiculous excuse about homework...she never did homework and then walked away from him before he could say anything. He quickly walked after and grabbed her hand, tugging her back towards him. Why couldn't she just accept his kindness?

"You haven't done homework in ages Krystina, Seriously i'm trying to talk to you"

He said slowly, trying to contain his anger the best he could, he couldn't afford to lose his temper out in the open. He just kept repeating public place public place over and over again until he managed to calm down a little bit. Loosening his grip on her hand he shoved his hands back into his pocket.

"I just want to talk, I miss us"

She wanted to yell at him, and tell him to get lost. She wasn't completely sure she could handle having him around right now... or ever. When she had left Durmstrang, she had thought she left him behind for good. But that was not the case. Leave it to Daniel to find a way back into her life. It made Krys wonder just how he got his parents convinced so much that they actually moved out of country; that they just packed up and left everything behind so that he could go to Hogwarts of all schools. Sure, Hogwarts was popular, but Krys loved Durmstrang. It was her second home for quite some time. Until he went and screwed it all up for her. Forgiving him would be one of the hardest things she'd ever accomplish in her life, if she ever could.

It was clear to her that he was continuing to grow even angrier as the conversation went on. He seemed to be controlling it well, but she was sure he could probably snap at any moment. She knew him. She knew how he was. She was treading on eggshells at the moment and if she wasn't careful, she'd end up in a bad situation. "I.." What was she to say to that? She didn't want to write. She wanted nothing to do with him. Couldn't he see that? Couldn't he just get the picture. "I've been busy Daniel, trying to fit into a new school and getting used to a new atmosphere. I apologize for the fact my mind wasn't completely on you." There it was, slipping right through her lips. Sarcasm. She hadn't meant to say it like that, but she couldn't help it. He was pushing her to the edge. She was angry, and scared. She wanted out. But at least she wasn't lying. Sure, she didn't want to write to him, so that part was left out. But she really had been busy. It was a logical explanation.

His question about her parents went through one ear and out the other. She didn't want the small talk. She didn't want to stay and have a conversation with him, which was why she mustered up the courage to try and leave. However that got her no where. He wasn't going to let her go. Why was she so stupid to think he would? His hand wrapping around her arm made her eyes widen before he pulled her back toward him, spinning her to face him. At that moment, she could feel the pressure building. The fear of what she expected. The fear she felt throughout their relationship. Krys exploded.

Jerking back from him, her wide eyes turned into a glare. "Don't touch me!" She shrieked. "I wan't nothing to do with you, so leave me alone!" Her breathing had picked up and her heart was racing faster than it had been before. Now more than ever she needed to get out of there. Especially since she had just gone off on him. Which was why she turned from him again, but this time she ran.

❝

Daniel was having a hard time believing the girl so blatantly displaying extreme amounts of rudeness was his Krystina. Didn't she see how much he was trying to be better? It wasn't easy controlling his temper, especially when he wasn't getting what he wanted. He was well past the age where throwing tantrums was acceptable, no this wasn't a tantrum. Perhaps he had issues, more than he'd admit to but no one actually liked being disrespected. Why did she insist on testing his patience, he was through with trying to sweet talk his way through this. Obviously their time apart had somehow managed to make her bolder.

"Krystina."

Her name slipped past his lips in warning, she was treading a dangerous line, he was barely controlling his anger as is. Did she obviously think it would be as easy as going to another country....a school? All girls were the same, they never cared how much troubled you went through for them...it was never good enough. It didn't occur to him that maybe she had a good reason to be angry or disgusted with him. He knew he wanted and cared for her and that use to be enough for them. He didn't like the way she changed not one bit.

He nearly growled when she pulled away from him. His hands twitched when she yelled at, She. Yelled. At. Him. No respect, obviously being at this school had lessened the respect she showed him and they couldn't have that. He followed her easily, the years if quidditch and running allowing him to catch up with her before she entered the castle. Stopping her before she could go in he managed to back her against the bricks of the castle.

"I get that you're angry at me, however don't ever walk away from me like that...ever".

His hands clenched even though they were supported his weight and keeping her against the wall. public place, public place He glared at her, why was she being so difficult. Didn't she see there'd be less trouble if she just cooperated.

"Can we have a nice calm conversational walk by the lake or do we have to so this hard way because we both know I won't give up. Trust me when I say running won't help"

He kept his voice barely above a whisper. So much for being nice, he was honestly trying to be nice.

"Lets not make a bigger scene than we already have, okay?"

Running. Her feet carried her as fast as they could even though she knew he was right on her heels. He would always surpass her when it came anything sports wise. She was surprised she had gotten as far as she did before he truly caught up to her. Crying out, terror flashed across her face when he pushed her up against the wall and held her there. His eyes were full of such anger, and she could feel the clenching of his hands. Krystina knew it had been a bad decision to try and leave; to run like that. But who could blame her? Still, she was terrified and she didn't know what to do. She could feel herself starting to shake again as tears pressed up into her eyes. She just wanted to be alone. She just wanted to be away from him. She... she wanted Icarus. Krys had been a pain to him from the beginning. She was a handful and she knew that, but she loved her cousin and she would give anything to be with him right now. He would comfort her. He would make sure she was alright.

She bit back her tears as best she could, keeping her eyes locked on his. There had to be a way out of this, but what? She could scream, but that would only cause a scene she didn't even want. It would only cause the situation to become that more dangerous. There were no other options, because she wouldn't hit him. It would only make her as low as he was. She didn't want to be anything like him. But there was the fact she was physically weaker than him as well. Surely he could handle anything she threw at him. It would be a lost cause. 

"Daniel, please." She cried, shifting a bit, trying to loosen his grip on her. He was threatening her. She could see it in his eyes; hear it in his voice. If she didn't do as he pleased, she would once again have to face his wrath. But she didn't want to talk to him. She didn't want to be anywhere near him. He should understand that. "Daniel, I just want to be left alone." The tears started to run down her cheeks. "Please just leave me alone." Surely she wasn't asking too much of him. But maybe in his mind it was. It was obvious he wouldn't let her go that easily. Pushing forward slightly, she tried to get out of his grasp, but it barely did anything. "Let... Let me go... now." She tried to demand, her voice weaker than it had been, but still showing some firmness. She was trying to be strong. She really was, but it wasn't working like she wanted it to. "I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to be around you. I want you to leave."

❝

Daniel knew she was scared, it was obvious in her look and he ignored hated the fear in her eyes. What other choice did he have, he didn't want to let her go, he couldn't let her go. Not when he cared so much for her, he had given up the best school year if his life to be with her. He didn't understand why she was being selfish....he didn't understand why girls were so selfish. He tried being nice, to make up for his past mistakes but each time she managed to break the control he try to put in place. Logically he knew it wasn't solely her fault, he had been like this for as long as he could remember. He hid it so well, she just wasn't as susceptible to manipulation as the others.

He took a deep a breath and tried counting to ten but it didn't exactly work on someone with as many anger issues as him. He gently wiped away the tears staining her face, she was beautiful and smart and everything else he could want in her girl....minus the stubborness. Of course she wasn't raised in a pureblood household, she didn't have the same submissive quality that lingered in the pureblood girls that inhabited Austria's magical community. That was one of things that drew him to her, he didn't realize how much of an inconvenience it would cause. She fought him on everything, but he wasn't one to ever back down or take no for answer when he wanted a yes.

"I can't...well I could but I don't actually want to. I promise all I want to do is talk."

He really did try to be nice about this, he wanted her to actually hear him out but it seemed like the only way she was going to listen was if she was scared. His dad always told him a relationship was built on compromise...surely he could compromise right?

"After we talk, you can go"

That was fair right? He would most likely see her around the school, it wouldn't be too hard to run into her again. He just didn't understand why she couldn't just accept that he wasn't going to leave her alone. There was a better chance of him leading peace rallies, or giving up dark magic. He didn't believe in peace and dark magic was his one true calling.

"Will you stop being rude? We could've solved this ages ago if you had returned my letters or said goodbye."

He sighed in frustration, why couldn't she just agree. It was so easy to see what he wanted, but she was being so got darn stubborn.

"I'm getting really tired if asking nicely, why can't you just let me be nice, I don't like fighting with you, honest."

Why couldn't he see that he was only driving her away by forcing her to stay? If she wanted to be around him or talk to him, she would do it on her own time. When, or if, she ever felt like being around him again she would do it when she felt ready. But this... this anger he showed; this controlling nature only pushed her further and further from even thinking about having a normal conversation with him. She didn't trust him. She wasn't sure she ever would again. If only he would get that through his thick skull. But he didn't care how she felt. He didn't care at all about what she wanted and that was the clearest thing. It was about him and it had always been about him. Well, not in the beginning. In the beginning it was beautiful. She would have done anything to make him happy, but then she saw a whole other side of him that turned her off. A side of him she couldn't ever forget.

Krystina flinched slightly when his hand was raised to make contact with her face. However it wasn't the strike she was used to. Instead, it was a gentle hand, wiping the tears streaming from her eyes. It was in that moment she almost allowed herself to remember the good in their relationship; to smile at the soft and tender touch she used to feel. She truly did love him, but he betrayed her. He hurt her. She couldn't go back to that no matter how many good memories she had with him.

"What you want?" She started, shaking her head at him. She couldn't believe him and how he was acting. Or could she? She had seen it many times before. "What about what I want, Daniel? Huh? Did you ever consider that? Probably not. You're too worried about your own problems to consider anyone else's feelings." It slipped again, the anger in her tone; the hate ringing loud and clear. Again, she pushed against his weight, this time reaching up and trying to pull his hands off of her. "Damn it, let go Daniel!" She growled, trying to be as courageous as one could be in her position.

"How about you let me go, and we never talk again. Sound good?" She wasn't taking it anymore. As scared as she was, as much as feared the boy holding her down physically and emotionally, it was time she stuck up for herself. Would she be able to continue though? Everything was just so confusing to her with what she wanted and didn't want. She knew she didn't want to be with him. She knew she still had feelings for him. She knew she hated him. And she knew that deep down she missed what they had when it was good. But how could she be with someone who did that to her or allow him to control her anymore? Simply, she couldn't.

"I'm not being rude." She told him, keeping eye contact with him as much as she wanted to just wanted to give in so it would all be over; to maybe even curl up and never do or say anything again. Why did this have to happen to her? What did she do to deserve this? "Being rude is when you put your hands on someone you claim to love." There it was. The hint at how angry she was by his actions. He was foolish to think he would ever win her back. Sighing, she allowed her eyes to gaze away finally. "Just leave me alone Daniel. I don't want you in my life anymore. Can't you see that?"

PARDON ME BUT YOU SAID THAT YOU'D ALWAYS LOVE ME

❝

Daniel sighed and moved his arms from blocking her escape. He wasn't giving up not by a long shot but he knew he'd only meet resistance if he kept her against the wall. He did care about her and he hated the way he acted toward to her but he didn't see any other way. Taking a step back, he moved to stand in the doorway so she couldn't get inside. Outside he could track run her down, inside there was probably witnesses. His face lost all the anger that was still very much at the surface. He took a deep breath and remembered his occlumency training. Perhaps she might be right...no she was right,he hadn't thought about what she wanted. In his anger he had hurt her many times and he could do nothing about that.

"You're right I haven't been fair to you...can I walk you to Gryffindor tower?"

Shoving his hands back into his jacket pocket, he tried to focus on anything but his anger, her avoiding him....the fact she was probably interested in another guy. It had been a while since they last saw each other, had she found someone else? He allowed the sadness to slip through, true genuine sadness maybe regret...remorse. He really didn't want to lose her....he couldn't lose her...he just wouldn't allow it.

"You're right, you have every right to hate me and want me to disappear, I don't blame you. I swear im trying my hardest to change, my dad said helps control your emotion so I started that and my mother thinks I need counseling."

He frowned, he did love her...so much it hurt, he was just afraid of losing her. He never really had a function relationship, the best example of a semi functioning relationship he had were his parents and that was about control. He needed to be in control and she fought it, why did she have to fight it.

"I do love you, I know I didn't show it with hurting you and stuff and you have every right to hate me, but I truly am sorry."

Running a hand through his hair he ignored her comment, something that would surely make him want to hit her. He needed her in his life and he couldn't think of anyway to keep her...until he looked at her...she would always hate him for the things he put her through.

"Krystina, if you have even the smallest amount of feelings for me still can we please try again. I don't care if you need someone to be there with you when I am, I really want to make up for everything I've done."

He looked in her eyes and gave her a pleading look, he could totally change, she was worth it.

GRAVITY

oh, you loved me 'cause i'm fragile, when i thought that i was strong. but you touch me for a little while, and all my fragile strength is gone. set me free, leave me be, i don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity. here i am, and i stand so tall, just the way i'm supposed to be. but you're onto me and all over me. i live here on my knees as i, try to make you see that you're everything i think i need here on the ground. but you're neither friend nor foe, and i, can't seem to let you go. the one thing that i still know is you're keeping me down. --------------------

Her figure stayed in place, but her eyes watched him as he moved from in front of her and now blocked her way to the indoors. Didn't he see that that was no better? Sure, he wasn't close enough to her anymore to be too close for comfort, but he was still keeping her from leaving which was not helping his situation. All Krystina wanted to do was go back to the Gryffindor Common room and lie down. Heck, she'd even enjoy doing homework more than standing there with him. However, it would be a lie to say she didn't still have feelings for him. He hurt her, and very badly, but she had felt something for him and that didn't just go away overnight; even if he had done her harm.

"I... I don't know Daniel." She told him, finally moving herself from the wall. Honestly, she didn't want him to walk her, but would it help her get him off her case? She didn't trust him; she couldn't trust him. Surely he would only continue with his goal to get her back. Sadly she was scared that he might actually get what he wanted. Krys was so focused on how much she was hurt and angry, that she didn't want to allow any other emotion for him come out. But would he be able to force it out of her? He had always been good at that before, and aside from trying to avoid the lashing out, she was trying to avoid any chance of him drawing her back in.

His words slipped through, and straight to the empathetic side of her. He hit it right on the nail and she could feel herself listening and really listening. It appeared he was truthfully trying to change and his words were getting to her. Did he understand just what he did to her and how he made her feel? Was he aware of just how badly he hurt her? Was he truly sorry? She wanted to hate him and even more, she wanted to be able to continue to ignore his apologies and anything else he had to say. 

Krystina didn't want to give in, but she could feel herself doing so. Sighing, she shifted uncomfortably, her mind running rapidly trying to figure out what she should do. Clearly she should run. Anyone would tell her to do so and that it would be idiotic to listen to the boy, but she had loved him and been with him for so long it was hard to not go back to what was familiar to you. "Daniel..." She started, looking up at him again, her brown eyes meeting with his. Hesitantly, she moved toward him until she was standing only inches apart. What was she doing? Why was she allowing him to get to her? Don't do it. Don't. Do. It.

Reaching up, her hand gently grazed his jaw line before her hand rested on his cheek, a small smile starting to appear on her lips. "I... I still have feelings for you and I'm sure I always will. You were my first love, but..." Taking her hand away, she stepped back shaking her head. "I don't know if I can. I don't think I can do it again. How am I supposed to know you won't hurt me like you did before?"

PARDON ME BUT YOU SAID THAT YOU'D ALWAYS LOVE ME

❝

Daniel could tell she was caving,but he didn't want to push her too much. If he was going to get another chance to prove he could change, he had to be patient. That was easier said than done, he was so used to getting what he wanted that patience wasn't on his list of virtues. He watched her as she moved, wondering if she was trying to sidestep him. He would probably let her, just to show that he really wanted to change. Even though it seemed like a far fetched idea....it was just so easy to be that way, it had always worked for him.

"I know you probably didn't miss me and the conversation started bad, I swear i'll turn around and leave as soon as you reach the entrance"

He folded his hands in a begging fashion and stuck out his bottom lip enough to be kind of cute, bordering pathetic. He was playing with matches as it rain gasoline, there was no doubt about it. "I'll be the perfect gentleman, I won't even wall to close" He just wanted her to be comfortable around him, if only just a little bit. He could work with something small, even if only a crazy person would see hope in someone else's fear.

He smiled genuinely, all traces of anger were gone, she still had feeling for him. That meant there wasn't anybody else right? It was much easier, he didn't move when she touched his face. In all honesty he didn't want to scare her away with his movement.

"I know my promises don't mean anything to you, I swear i'm okay with taking it slow. We can hang out where there are a lot of people and we don't have to be alone until you trust me again"
