Patton sighed, his heart heavy with the conflict he felt.
"I just... I don't understand what we are anymore." He gulped but continued.
"I don't know what our relationship is anymore."
He felt his hands tremble but he put them behind his back in an attempt to control his nerves, trying desperately to not get tongue tied.
"One minute, we're friends, the next, we're more than friends... and then sometimes I'm nothing but a stranger to you." He took a second when he felt himself grasping his hands together too tightly to gently pull them apart, feeling a confusing wave of relief and fear washed over him as he finally expressed his thoughts.
"One minute, you talk to me like I'm the most special person in your life, another minute you're talking to me like I mean absolutely nothing to you... one day, you pay so much attention to me, like it's only you and me in the world, the next you ignore me..."
He bit the inside of his cheek as he felt the tears well up in his eyes, and he stared at the ceiling and blinked rapidly, but it didn't stop those treacherous tears from falling. Patton wiped them away angrily, and continued with a trembling voice.
"Don't play with my feelings... Just because you're unsure of yours." He hesitated before staring back at the mirror and he chuckled bitterly.
His reflection wasn't the one who needed to hear those words.
