If I would have known...Why did you push me away? I could have helped...I will."</span><br/><br/>Lea shook her head side to side frantically. She knew that it was no use as Carlos had already settled his mind, but still she shook her head. Her hair stuck to her face from the tears and her nose was runny and red, cheeks flushed, and eyes overflowing.<span style="color: #FF80FF"> "You'll just leave! Everyone leaves!"</span>she cried.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF80FF">"First rule. No lies. You aren't fine...I need to know all about your personal hell to keep you away from it. I won't let you down a second time..."</span>he said gruffly in her ear and she couldn't believe him. She couldn't even trust herself, why would she trust him? He had walked away once, right? He could do it again. There was nothing left of her to save, why couldn't he see that? There had never been anything there to begin with.<br/><br/>She just wanted to be happy. She just wanted to feel loved, that someone was there. But the moment there was someone, the moment someone stepped up, she couldn't accept it. She was so used to be alone that she couldn't comprehend the possibility of someone being truthful. It was just a cruel trick, a game.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF80FF">"Stop playing with me..."</span>she whimpered.<span style="color: #FF80FF">"Stop trying to toy with me. Don't make promises you won't keep--promises no one ever keeps."</span>
