"Ugh!" He slammed his fist on the table. "I don't get it!" "What? What do you not get Pryce?" I yelled back, my anger seething. His voice suddenly went from a loud yell to a small whisper as he replied, "I don't get...why you hate me." He thinks I hate him. Tears began to unwillingly form in my eyes. "I-I don't hate you." "Then why," He turned back to me, his hazel eyes piercing. "Do you never have even one good thing to say about me Ally?" I forced my eyes to the ground. I couldn't tell him. It would ruin everything, and Nora would be furious. But I couldn't let him go on thinking I hate him, could I? The truth. I needed to tell him the truth. "Because...it's easier." I replied. "Easier than what?" His voice was soft and kind now. I looked into his eyes again and noticed his features softened. I swallowed. "Because it's easier than falling in love with the one person I know I can't have." I squeezed my eyes shut as a long pause of deafening silence followed. "I should go." I whispered, turning toward the door. "Wait!" Pryce exclaimed, grabbing hold of my wrist to stop me. I looked back to meet his eyes again, then my eyes landed on his hand still holding my wrist. I expected him to let go or pull back like it was an accident but instead, he pulled me into a hug. My body went ridged from the shock, but he refused to let go. Was this really happening? Tears started to fall from the relief of no longer having to hide my feelings as I relaxed into his arms. The whole time I couldn't stop thinking that I needed to pull away or how mad Nora would be. But I also felt comforted his Pryce's arms. When I was with him, somehow, I knew it would be okay. No matter what happened.
This is a scene I wrote and wanted to share with you! The characters (Nora, Pryce) are based on real people, but the names are changed. The character whose point of view it is, is supposed to be me :3 Anyway, I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think in the comments. AllyAuthor <3 Dear heart, why him?
