Letting Go

"You should have told me." I said as I paused and took a deep breath to keep my tears at bay. "You should have told me you were bad for me...." I trailed off as a tear slipped out. I quickly wiped the tear away and pushed my long, black, unruly straight hair out of my face. Emerald eyes locked with Blue eyes.

"Look Raven, you heard the rumors. You knew what you were getting into." James said with an insufferable smirk. Disappointed, your plump pink lips formed a sadistic smile. You gazed at James, almost as if you were taking him in. He had black unruly hair, deep ocean blue eyes, and a build that seemed to attract half the female human race.

"You're right. I should have known." I said slowly taking my gaze off of him. "I guess I was just being stupid." I finished as my sadistic smile turned into a frown. Walking toward him, I got close enough that our chest almost touched. Whispering softly as I looked up to his eyes, I continued "Maybe I thought you were different. That the world wasn't all messed up. That maybe good people do exist, and people were just envious enough to make up rumors."

Noticing his hands trying to caress my face, I closed my eyes and let a breath of air out. "Oh Rave..." He whispered as he took a deep breath and brought his hand down. Opening my eyes, I could see the regret in his eyes. "I can't make you the best that you are. The worst of me....it's bringing out the worst in you. You don't want to admit it but this is for the best... for both of us" He concluded as he took a few steps back.

"I know you. You think you're such a bad boy? No, you're nothing but a sad boy." I say gulping back the sob in my throat. "I truly hope you find someone who can bring out the best in you. Letting you go....letting us go, it'll make me stronger. And I know I will be fine. I don't need to depend on anyone. I can be the best that I am all on my own. I'm my own anchor." I said as I take one last look at him. Turning around, I walked and left with the words I needed to say. Letting him go will be for the best....sometimes all you have to do is.... Let go.
