“I thought you loved me.” // “I never want to see you again.” // “Say that to my face.” leo x callista
“I thought you loved me.”
I do. I do love you. That’s why I’m doing this.
Callista’s face is stone cold, icy and unchanging as her eyes trail Leo up and down. She had been so close to telling him the truth, despite the fact that this was much bigger than the two of them, she wanted to be selfish like she always was. Although she would never be caught dead admitting it, Leo made her a better person merely by staying by her side and no matter how much she tried to deny it, so much had changed. Everything had changed.
“I never want to see you again.”
“You don’t mean that.“ Callista hissed, masking the hurt that she felt. A part of her wanted to believe herself, that after everything was over and whatever the outcome was, she could come back home to him. “You’ll see me anyway. I’ll be in your dreams, your thoughts, and maybe if you’re that unlucky we’ll meet again. I’ll haunt you, Leo. You won’t ever let me go and we both know it.”
Her fists ball up as she starts to shake. She maintains her composure and turns around on her heels to face him defiantly. Callista hesitates for a brief moment, silence settling over them after so much arguing. She may have knew what was going on, but this was all real to Leo. She wasn’t ready to burn the only bridge she cared about. The one good thing she had in the world. Why did she decide to do this again?
“I hate you.” Callista’s eyes narrow in on him, playing her fear off as anger and disgust. “I hate you, I hate you, I hate you and you don’t know me at all.”
