"Why?" He asked.
"Because the world opposes us, Ethan. We don't deserve this. You have dreams and I have mine. We have to give way." I said without blinking so my tears won't fall. No matter how hard I hold onto the strap of my bag, I still feel very weak.
"So, you really don't think this will work? Why not? I would give my all for this, Aria. I would kill for this. That's how much I need you." I cleared my throat and he's still frozen, standing five feet away from me while looking confused.
"We will not work, Ethan. I fought too hard and I've had enough. If you think I can still hold onto something that kills me, then you're wrong! I can't take it anymore. Three years is enough. I'm done with the lies, the hiding, the secret kisses and this secret love. No, this isn't love at all. Love is patient but I am not." I slowly stepped back and slowly turned my back to him and started walking away.
I know someday I will kill myself with regret but this is the best for him, because after all, he's the air I would kill to breathe.
