Chapitre 127: I love you

　　“I didn’t leave you,” I whisper. I reach for him and he jerks back, causing my hand to cut through thin air. He is here but he is so far away. “Benny.”

　　His smile doesn’t reach his eyes, he tucks his hands into his pockets and bounces on his heels. “It’s okay. Some battles are meant to be fought alone.” 

　　My heart breaks. If I listen closely, I might hear the sound as it shatters completely. “Don’t say that. They didn’t allow me inside because of what I did.”

　　Ben backs away from me, I match each step with a calm determination. We keep at it till he realises I’m not going to stop. The breeze blows his hair into his eyes. I swipe at the irritating strands and he sighs.

　　All we do is stare at each other for the next few seconds. “I was scared and you were not there.”
