Broken (Open Starter)
The thunder broke the silence of the night as lightning soon lit up everything around them. The cold rain hit her like tiny daggers as it hid the tears that flowed from her eyes. Her voice betrayed her emotions as she looked at the other.
“I am sorry! I.. I am sorry that I cannot trust you...” The broken English was even more muddled from her thick accent. “I am broken, I... I do not know how to trust anymore.” Stepping back, she was prepared to run, because that seemed like the logical thing to do now.
“I want to, I really do! But...” She trailed off as she took a shaky deep breath. “I do not want to get my hopes up, I do not want to lose you...” She turned away this time, thunder breaking over them while lightning struck in the distance. The rain seemed to be coming down harder.
“I..” Asta didn’t know what else to say as she looked up, she couldn’t look at them, it hurt too much.
