Lizas POV - Whats it look like Im doing? Im walking home. Alone. I shove my finger into his chest, bitterness in my voice. Thanks to you. He freezes, his body tight with tension. Oh, so now youre mad? Im sorry I rescued you from some dick who only wanted to use you. My bad. Rescued? Ha! I huff. Did you ever think I might want to be used? That sometimes I just need the escape? The words fly out my mouth before I can bite them back, and his fingers dig into my shoulders as reality finally sets in. His dark eyes grow sad, full of pity, and I hate it. I hate myself. My chest heaves with deep breaths, and he moves closer, backing me against the building, one arm on each side of my head, caging me in. Do me a favor, Liza? The next time you need to escape, come to me. Just- He rests his forehead against mine, his hand tangling in my hair. Come to me. His lips whisper across mine, a promise I cant afford to make. He stares into my eyes, searching. Deep inside my soul, I feel something inside of him tugging on something inside of me. And I feel myself giving in, that same part of me reaching out to him, begging to be rescued. It draws me to him when my head says to run. Abruptly releasing me, he breaks the connection, turning to walk away. I can only watch, willing my feet to move, a prisoner inside my own body. Though I would never allow myself to chase after him, I cant let him go. Declan! He turns, standing in the light of the streetlamp, staring, watching, waiting. His shadow dances on the wall as he begins to walk, one foot in front of the other. Slowly, deliberately, he gets closer. And when hes finally standing in front of me, I whisper, I need to escape.
