What?” I lift my heal, not hearing his questions.
“Nothing. What did you call me here for?” he grumbled, his hand in his pocket, the other pushing his hair back. He’s wearing the same black burton–up from the office, folded up to his elbows. His jet black hair is being complemented by the harsh wind, simply intensifying his handsome

“You know I was gonna blow on it,” I smile, turning to the vast horizon, where the dandelion must have now flown away.
“The dandelion? What are you? Twelve years old?” He meered but I turned to him with a serious gaze and flashed him a genuine smile. “We were those twelve year olds. Donan” I murmurat him.
“I was the first time I fell for you, I added, looking away. I couldn’t see his expression–be might not like what I’m talking about and walk away, bur, I’m determined to ask him this one question…

“How about you!” I turn back to him, still keeping up my shaky smile. “Have you ever felt the same way

But I can’t I can’t keep this up.
“Goddamnit, just answer my question!” I yelled, the sob finally freaking out, turning me red. “H–have you ever, truly loved me all these years. Dorian!” I loudly stuttered.
The only thing that met my rage was his indifferent eyes, ley, piercing, and yet so silent. He has no answer, because he didn’t

I sighed, letting myself breathe as we simply stood in front of each other. The silence looming over us

The world seemed to close around me when she began talking. I stared at her and yet no words penetrates my ears, just her as she rambled on whatever we came here for.
Nothing made sense until she threw in one question that jolted me out of my thoughts.
“Goddamnit, just answer the question!” she yelled. It was the first time I’ve seen Serena in this state. She was her most demure whenever she was with me. Always trying to look and act her best.
Tears began to collect in her eyes and all I wanna do is wipe them and kill myself for making her cry like that
“H–have you ever, truly loved me all these years, Dorian?” she murmured and I swallowed the lump in my throat, clenching my fist until my Inuckles turned white.
When I didn’t reply, I felt her hand on mine, forcing something into my palm. It was the emerald ring I gave her–it wasn’t similar to any color she’s composed of, but she feels like nature. She’s beautiful. She’s everywhere–which might have been the reason why I took her for granted. “What the hell do you think you’re doing, Serena?” I yelled. Why is she doing this? Why is she giving up on me? She can’t give up on me!
“You’ll never hear from me again” she was about to turn around, when all of a sudden.
A powerful urge burned within me and my wolf hulled me to run after her. I could feel the primal instinct clawing into me until I finally had a hold of her “Dorian Dorian, no!” The sun shone bright above us yet my vision was blurred. All I needed to feel was her. All of her light and beauty.
I’m going to swallow her sunshine whole and force her in the darkness with me.
