Sandy's Perspective

I awake with a start. My body trembles and I move to my back to pull breaths into my lungs.

My hand falls on something. Warm. Moving. Breathing.

Talzi.

I move away from him. He's sleeping soundly, I don't think I moved enough to wake him.

My eyes sting, my heart an unsteady thunk-th-thud. Memories float around in my head like dandelion seeds, very few of them coming together to make any sense. I freaked out at Talzi and when he came in to comfort me, I broke down.

I can't let him be a part of my emotional struggles.

I don't want him to come along with me on the painful roller coaster I force myself to be on.

I sniffle and wipe dried tears from my eyes, turning to my side so I can look at him. Soft, as always. The rays of the early-morning sun break through the shades covering the window, and I put an arm over his side as I shift closer. This will be our last morning together. I'll tell him what I want, and I'll be gone by this evening. This relationship isn't worth it if Talzi has to try to fix my permanently broken glass emotions.

My movement brings him awake and he yawns. His soft eyes flutter open, then he moves closer to nuzzle me. "Morning, sunshine," he croaks.

I take the love because I want it. I want to stay with him and wake up like this every morning that we possibly can. But I can't. I shouldn't. I won't do that to him.

"Morning," I mumble.

He backs off and sends me a concerned look. "You don't have to feel bad about what happened yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't take into consideration your feelings about the matter."

"Talzi, that's not what happened..."

"Shut up," he growls. "Stop blaming everything on yourself. I can mess up too, don't you see that you aren't the only person in the world with problems?" He pushes me away, sitting up. "I'm sick of you acting like if you take the blame then the world will right itself. But it won't. It just won't."

"Than it seems we've both reached the same conclusion," I observe.

"What?"

"This was never going to work. Falling in love with your roommate? Are we children reading fantasy stories?" I spat, sitting up.

"You're my roommate because I am in love with you..." Talzi objects.

"With the way I treated you? Go see a therapist because my actions are not supposed to make someone feel loved. I have never dated anyone for more than a month, and this is obvious proof why that fact is true."

"And you think I understood any better? The only love I've received is from my parents and a chef who feels bad for the... for the shit that my life became. You gave me the choice of whether or not to date you and I chose to. I chose to stick through this because I want to be with you! I thought you wanted the same for me..." Talzi tries to explain.

"I don't want you to have to put up with me!” I object. “Haven't you noticed how much of a burden I've become? I don't understand what it is to be with other people. I just-"

"I just want to be with you," Talzi finished my sentence in his way, reaching out to take my hands.

Tears spring to my eyes, and I pull away from him, stumbling as I fall off the bed and get to my feet. "No!" I exclaim. "No! That's not what we agreed to!"

"You are so self-centered!" His voice cracks, rising to his feet.

I hate that he's taller than me. Why can't I be like any other jock and fall for the flirty blonde? "Why can't I get my happy ending, huh? Ever thought about how I feel?"

"All the time I think about you. With every movement, I wish I could just go back into your arms and pretend that the world is playing hide and seek. And we never would find it again! But I should have figured it out by now. You let someone get so close and then you run away because you don't know how to have a relationship with someone else. I'm such an idiot for believing your lies."

"Shut up."

"No," Talzi stays defiant.

I take the nearest thing to me, my notebook, and throw it across the room. "Fucking shut up!"

Paper doesn't fly well, and he catches it. Pages crumble as tears spring to his eyes. "And here I thought I was in love." He plucks something small off the bed and goes to the door. His entire expression darkens and he throws the object at me before slamming the door.

I stop the object before it hits me, snagging it out of the air with a snarl. I can stop bullets from hitting me, why did he think that this would ever hurt me?

This... teddy bear...

That I gave him.

For Valentine's day.

Shit.

I pull the door open and it smashes into the wall. My shoulder hits the doorframe of his bedroom.

The windows open.

I teleport to the roof and stop his fall by the grip of his wrist, pull him into my arms.

He trembles, sniffling but snot still runs down his lip.

"Get away from me," he gives a weak attempt to get away but I pull him tighter.

"Shut up I'm sorry," my voice shatters.

He pulls in a breath to say something but pulls himself in closer to me before he can say it. "Threaten to leave one more time." He growls.

"No," I grab the back of his head with my hand, pulling at his hair to get him to look at me. "You try dying again."

"I will," Talzi snarls, pushing to get out of my grasp. I teleport us back into the apartment, pushing his back against the bathroom wall. My sword comes to my hand and I put the tip at his throat. "Do it."

Rage burns and my hands shake, making my knees weak. He doesn't move, daring me to kill him. Nothing makes sense anymore when I drop my weapon and push his body against the wall, gripping at his shirt.

Our eyes meet, neither of us taking the liberty to blink. He still looks down at me, even in such a situation.

"Kill me." He says again, hands settling on my waist. "Stop acting like you're going to and go through with it. End both of us. Life isn't worth it."

"Stop acting like change is impossible," I shoot back.

"Be mine again."

He pushes his head forward and takes my lips. He's rough just to tell me that it's okay.

My grip on his shirt falters, and he pulls my body closer. Nothing stops his sharp teeth from biting my lip.

I gasp and pull away, but his hands keep me close.

"Stop it."

He says right as I say, "shut up."

"I'm not giving up on you."

"You tried to kill yourself."

"You saved me."

"I didn't have to."

"But you did."

"I don't know how to love you."

"I don't care," Talzi's nails bite into the skin on my sides. "Stop running away."

I feel hot tears running down my face. "I can't."

"Yes you can," Talzi replied without missing a beat.

I shake my head, pushing away from him.

His hands come around my lower back, claws bitting at my skin through the fabric of my shirt. "Can you do it, for me?"

I hesitate, a cry escaping my throat before I wrap my arms around him to pull him closer, to be able to feel what I want to live for. "For you," I whisper into his ear. "Just for you."
