Status: Stop trying to love me, you're only getting hurt- Leana (Complete)

Smother

Tainted love

She’s sitting on the living room floor, tugging on her blue thigh high socks while I’m leaning against the hall wall.

“I’m sorry,” she huffs as she now pulls on her brown knee high winter boots.

“For what?” I ask, my eyebrows knitting together.

“Yesterday, I- I shouldn’t have said what I said.”

“Why?” I push off the wall.

“Because. . .”

She’s looking up at me as I come closer.

“You don’t deserve that. You don’t deserve to be tainted with my love. You’d be better off if you stopped loving me.”

“Leana, it’s not something I can just turn off,” she makes me so fucking frustrated.

She stands up, grabs her bag and looks me in the eyes.

“Jett I’m being serious. Stop trying to love me, you’re only getting hurt. I can see I’m hurting you.”

She doesn’t give me a chance to respond. As soon as she says it, she’s out the door and swiftly clanking down the stairs.

Damn her!

I hurry to the door to see her stepping off the last step and disappearing around the corner.
