Well,  this was surprising, but he wasn’t complaining.                                                                   ..Why would he?         He kisses back, a smile forever evident on his lips         dimples eternally on display because she’s his          she’s finally his and he’s been dreaming this day         for as long as he can remember.                    Arms wrap hastily around her middle,                     deepening the kiss further.           He wanted every single kiss she received           from him to prove just how much he adored her,            to show just how much she meant to him. His lids close lazily, fingers now grazing along her back. Never had Archie craved someone’s kiss more than he craved Mia’s,  and it seemed like every kiss was going to be even better than the last.  Once she’d pulled back his forehead is meeting hers,  fond smile now evident on his features.                                                     ”Well, hello to you too..”

Dear Diary,                              She doesn’t want to marry me.                             She’s never going to marry me.     Then again I can’t blame her.   It’s just..I mean I know we’re young and stuff, and I know she said it was just the initial shock but the answer should have been simple. Why is she even with me if she doesn’t want a future with me? I know she deserves better, and maybe that’s why. Maybe she’s just holding out for something better to come along, someone better to come and sweep her off her feet, because we both know she deserves better.    I love her so much, it’s ridiculous you know? I have done for such a long time too, I can’t see it stopping just like that you know?                                     It’s whatever, I should have seen this coming.                                     I’m such a whiny shit             I need to stop, bye.                                                                                                                             Archie.

Who knew three words could hurt so bad?Could stab you in the heartAs painful as a knife.                        There had been plenty of times in Archie’s life when he felt like he was a monster, when he felt like he was a bad person, and now —Well it was no exception. It had never been someone he was in love with though, and perhaps that’s what hurt the most. Made the words sting so bad, cut so deep. He knew he shouldn’t have been mad about the fact she was hesitant about the marriage thing, and he shouldn’t have stayed out all night because heck, of course that looked suspicious.                 He wasn’t going to try and touch her again because if that’s not what she wanted he wasn’t going to push it. Even now he was going to treat Mia like the Princess he deemed her to be. He did need to get away however, because he was sure he’d break down in front of her if he didn’t, he was sure he’d suffocate on how painful it was to hear three simple words.                                                     ‘Don’t touch me’     It was like a trigger to him, eyebrows furrowing. He nodded simply, a weak smile curling on his features, hand raising to pull at his curls carefully as he’s getting up from the bed, nodding and nodding like he’s lost his mind.                      ”Fine, I’ll fucking leave you alone yeah? If that’s what you want.”     And he just leaves, just like that because he has no words that he’s sure will work, and those words —They just remind him of the monster he used to be, the monster he may still be. 

"Don’t pretend that I didn’t matter to you!" "Why do you care?" "You’re the one who left!" "Believe what you want." "You’re wrong." "You think you know everything about me, but you don’t." "I found this last night. Is it yours?" "I’m guilty." "How could you do that?" "Holy shit!" "If you ever loved me you’d let me go." "Love you? How could I ever love you? You’re broken and I’m not going to try and fix that." "Shut up!" "But you promised." "I’m going to just… leave then."
