A.N.

Sorry for the long wait lovelies. I have been very busy with school and performances and had sadly little time to write. I didn't want to upload something I wouldn't be proud of. So it took a little longer to upload. But here it is! I hope you like it. Have fun reading!

Flashes of yesterday evening keep showing in my mind.

No matter what  I do to block them out, they keep coming back

My knuckles feel sore but I keep going. I have to

Trying to fight the flashes away

But the memories of last night win.

~~~ Flash back ~~~

The walk to Anna's apartment building was silent. Neither one of us said a thing or made a sound. It felt a little awkward, but at the same time a strange feeling of ease came over me. I look over at Anna and see that she is in deep thoughts. I wonder what they are about.
Once we are in front of het house we stand still.
"So..." she says after a little while. "So..." I answer back with a small smirk. She turns her face towards me and I see a cute smile forming on her lips.
God, this girl is starting to make me feel things I shouldn't feel.
"Thank you for walking me home." She starts "Even though you had important things to take care of. I really do appreciate it."
I nod, still a little confused about my feelings. I'm not supposed to feel anything. I'm trained to block all my feelings. It's a weakness and in my world we can't have weaknesses.

I look next to me, only to notice that Anna already had started to walk towards the door and away from me. My hand grabs het arm out of reflect, not ready for her to leave yet.
She turns around slowly looking at me with confusment in her eyes.
Standing on the small stairs in front of her apartment building, she seems the same height as me, giving me the perfect view of het beautiful face. And those eyes ......
Stop it Gabe!

"You are hurt!" she says and her hands make their way towards the small cut on my face.
"It's nothing. Don't worry about it." I grab her arms softly, trying to pull her hands down.
"It needs to get cleaned. Otherwise it might get infected." She argues back, still looking at the cut.
"Anna, you seriously don't need to worry about it." I say, tucking in her arms. "Someone already looked at it and cleaned it. You won't be able to see it in a couple of weeks."
Her eyes still didn't move away from it. So I went on "Plus, the other guy looked much worse."
That did switch her attention away from the cut and her eyes snapped towards mine. We look at each other for a little while. Her beautiful, sparkling brown eyes are all that I can see. And for a moment, I forget everything ells. The only thing on my mind is her.

Slowly we move closer to each other, our eyes close and I can feel her breathing on my face. Her smell clouding my mind, the smell of a wild rose, and I'm completely lost in her.
We lean in closer, our lips almost touching.

Suddenly I hear something echoing in the distance. It sounds like a gunshot.... And then my brain starts to work again.
"No!" I move backwards, creating some space in between Anna and me. Her eyes flutter open and she looks at me with questioning eyes.

"This is a mistake."
"What?" Anna asks sounding disappointed and a little angry at the same time.
I look away from her, afraid that when I look in her eyes, I would change my mind.
"Go inside." I say, my voice sounding cold.
"Gabri" "I SAID, go inside." My voice echoes from the houses around us and I make the mistake to look at her.
"You are an asshole." She says to me and disappointment shows from her face.
