There were tears in my eyes now, but I held them back stubbornly, my nails digging into the skin of my palms. No. I would not give him this pleasure, wouldn't let him see. 'You never cared about me. Looking back at it,' another blow, higher, reaching for his collarbone, but I could feel exhaustion washing over my limbs, 'I wish it had never happened. That we had never happened.'

I let the silence reign in the otherwise empty room, words unspoken thudding in my head. When I did open my mouth to speak, my voice did not sound like my own. 'I wish you did. It's easier to push you away if I am convinced that you do.' I let go of him and let my back slouch against the wall, looking down at my feet, my head feeling too heavy on my shoulders. The loud ringing if a headache. Great. A smile curled up the corners of my lips, slowly, a chuckle, harsh, ripped out from my throat. 'And now what?'

I allowed myself to imagine convincing her I hated her. A smirk in the face of her pain. A kiss on the lips of Christy. Leaving her alone right now. They would all do it. An easy thing to do, a terrible thing to live with.
Hardly breathing, I brought my numb hand up to cup her face, a thing I imagined doing a hundred times in the last week alone. I brushed my thumb across her cheekbone, revelling in her soft skin, choosing not to remember what had stopped me before. When she did not move, neither to reject nor accept my touch, I closed the distance between us. I slid the fingers of my other hand around her neck, threading them into the locks of her hair. In the silence of the room, I could hear the ticking of the kitchen clock, a quiet reminder life continued while we were frozen in our own world.
Hesitantly, I pulled her face up towards mine. Her eyes were closed. In this proximity, I could see the purple pools under her eyes that no powder could completely conceal. Strangely enough, that bruised, delicate skin made her seem more beautiful. I pressed my lips against her forehead. "I don't want to pretend to hate you anymore."

Slowly, I opened my eyes. And I was taken aback. The storm in his own, raging, and I was incapable to decipher what it meant. 'And what will we do, then?' I whispered, not trusting myself to speak louder, 'Play the happy, normal family that we aren't? This is killing me, Alec, killing me.'
I wrenched myself free and looked away again, my arms crossed, hands clutched tightly below my shoulders, trying to stabilise the shaking. I took a deep breath. 'I didn't plan to tell you. I'm moving out. Far away. If I get into Medicine. I can't stand this any longer.'

College.
"We still have time." I told the fan. "Before that happens. We can still make it better before then." I opened my eyes and looked back down at her. Her arms were wrapped around herself, as if she were making sure she wouldn't fall to pieces. She looked so very small. "You can't expect me to give up. And I can't let you give up." I felt a laugh bubble up my throat at how clichéd my words were, but forced it down. Now was not the time to laugh.

Re: Broken Anathema
It may be better to find another role play, because this one is so complicated and old, it would be hard to explain to anyone else.. I'm sorry!
