"Mitchell!" I cried running to where he was. "Mitchell!" I ran, throwing my arms around him and crying on his shoulder.

"What happened Liya? What's wrong, love?" He ran his hand in my hair and patted my back.

*Mitchell's POV*

"I-I w-want t-to g-go-home" she stuttered, tears flowing down her cheeks. I frowned looking at her saddened face but nodded nonetheless. I grabbed her hand and led her to my car.

"Liya!" Her hand tightened against mine. She started crying again. Damn you Edward. I knew it was him. I looked at her and I couldn't really make out what she was saying because it had started raining.

"No, no, no, no, no" she whispered constantly.

"Let's go. We're going home okay? I'm gonna take you home." I gently spoke. She nodded. Okay, good. I opened the passenger door for her and closed it behind her before walking around to my seat.

"Liya, wait! Please" Edward's voice was getting closer. I looked at her not knowing whether to ignore him and drive away. She answered my thoughts by putting on her seatbelt. I started the car and pulled out of the parking space.

"No, no, no. Liya! Wait! Mitchell!" We're exiting the building, my eyes on her. Do I stop? I decided the only way to find out was to ask her.

"Liya, do you want to talk to him?" I gently asked, hands on the steering wheel but my eyes were on her.

"I'll just hear what he has to say… is that alright? I still want to go home" she says.

"Of course Liya. I'll wait here for you." I smiled.

"Thank you Mitch" she smiled sadly and got out of the car. "What do you want, Edward?" I could hear her. She never calls him Edward until now. I sighed and waited for her.

*Meriliya's POV*

"What do you want, Edward?" I asked, trying to keep my voice firm. I can't break in front of him again. No, not again. "Huh? What do you want from someone as 'pathetic' as me?" I used finger quotes and I saw him close his eyes momentarily.

"Baby,-"

"Don't. Don't call me that again" I said sternly crossing my arms.

"Liya, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all those mean things I said. I'm sorry, baby. Please, give me another chance. Please. Baby I need you. You know I can't go a day without you-"

"Need me for what? To keep hurting me constantly? To humiliate me? Humiliate me in front of your new girlfriend? What's her name-Darcie? Huh?" I questioned him, he stayed silent."Get your shit together Edward! We're over! It's the best for both of us. I can't keep doing this back and forth cycle again and again. I can't keep hurting myself and other people who actually love me. I have a heart Edward unlike you. You say you're sorry but the damage is already done. You basically said, you don't want anything to do with me the other day when you kissed her. What are you doing now? I'm done, I'm done Edward. Thank you so much for being there for me the past two years. Thank you for making me happy. Thank you for just everything you did for me. But now I think it's better if we go our own ways." He looks hurt but I don't want to fall for all of it again. 

"No, baby. Please don't say things like it's going to be the last time you will talk to me. Baby, please." He begged.

"I can't." My eyes betrayed me by spilling the tears. "I-" I gasped when his lips did the unthinkable. I tried to push him off but he was strong. He kissed me but I didn't kiss him back. 

"Kiss me, baby. Please. Kiss me Liya" he begged. I didn't. I'm not giving in this time. Finally he pulled away seconds later which felt like more.

"You thought, just because you kissed me I'll come running back to you? I did that one too many times, I'm not doing that ever again." I said angrily. "Please, just live your life. Leave me be." I begged and turned around. This time he didn't stop me.
