The shock on her face was painful. Chelsea took a few steps back from me with tears glistening in her forest green eyes. A part of me wanted to take her in m arms and kiss her with all I had. But this half needed her safe. I am the opposite of safe.

"W-Wha... Why? I thought you loved me." She says with a soft voice. My heart stung as a tear traveled down her face.

"I do. You know that better than anyone how much I fucking love you. But I love you so much that I have to let you go." I say. I wipes the tears off her face and stood up straighter to stand her ground.

"No. I am not leaving."

"Excuse me?"

"I have been through so much, Luke. I've lost my best friend because of you. I've tried to kill myself because of you. I told you things I haven't told anyone. I watched a man die in front of my eyes. I fell in love for the first time. I felt safe with you and now you're telling me I need to go? Absolutely not." She wipes more tears off her face. I couldn't stop myself anymore. I walk up to Chelsea and envelope her in a tight hug.

"It's so hard, baby. I can't stop thinking about you. I'm always so sad, making people beat me up. I told you before that I'm a lover, not a fighter." I tell her, fighting back tears. The grip she had on my was hurt my ribs really bad but I pushed the pain aside.

"I know, Luke. We're going to get you and Calum out of here. Everything's going to get better." She whispered. I let go of her but keep my arms on her shoulders. I change my moods with this girl was too much. I smile weakly as I brush the hair from her face.

"You're so beautiful," a tears travels down her face, "even when you're crying. I wish I could've been better for you." I wipe her went face with my dirty hands. She didn't seem to mind, though.

"Luke." She says with a small smile. I cup the side of her face in my hand as she leans into it. Oh how I wanted to kiss her. Just one last time. I knew the rules, though. Affection is allowed but at a minimum. But was Chelsea counted as an adult? Probably. She was 17, not exactly an adult but close enough to one. According to the police man who had to read me a bunch of junk about visitation stuff.

I take Chelsea's hat off and set it on the table. She looked at me confusingly but I ignore her. She wasn't aloud to wear that. I stand back in front of her with a small smile.

"When I was gone, how many times did you cry?" I was going to regret asking this but I wanted to know.

"I cried myself to sleep every night. I know you came to my room at night to talk to me. After our fights you would come in, I know." I didn't think she knew about that! I said so many things to her at night.

"I knew you weren't going to come but I stayed awake just in case this was all just a dream and you were going to walk into the room and cuddle with me, telling me how much I mean to you... But you never came." She started to cry. I embrace her again.

"I'm here. We only have about 5 more minutes together. But you can come back tomorrow."

"I don't want you to go back." She sobs. I let go of her. Only 4 to 5 seconds of hugging at once. Rules that I can't break so I can see her again. She wipes her tears off her face once again and laughs without humor.

"Just promise me that you will keep your head up. You don't have to smile. I just wanted you to be okay." She sniffed. I smile. A big grin plastered on my face. A real smile. Not a fake one to show Calum that I'm okay. I genuine smile that I will only show Chelsea. The love of my life.

"I promise." She picks up her pinky for me. I chuckle and link our small fingers together, kissing them both. The police man from earlier walks in. Her smile falls and sadness breaks through.

"Time's up." I look at Chelsea with a smile. She doesn't even crack one. I pinch her chin softly and pull her head up to look at me. She wasn't crying but her eyes were sad.

"I love you, baby. So, so much." I whispered and connected our lips. She grasped onto my jumpsuit to deepen the kiss. I missed her so much. I count slowly in my head.

5...

I disconnect our lips. She sighed and looked me in the eye. The police officer cuffed my hands behind my back, but I smile anyways. She waved me goodbye and I blow a kiss. As I was pulled to the door, I hear her beautiful soft voice one last time.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Luke. I love you."
