"Natasha? oh my god Nat, you don't have any clue how long I've been waiting to hear your voice! Are you okay? What's happening? Are you safe? Where are you, I-

"Brody, please leave me alone."

The words to leave her mouth as she cut me off were reflected within the shock on my face.

"Wh-w- what?" I questioned, my voice strained as confusion dominated my features.

"You heard me Brody, you need to stop, stop looking for me, stop trying to find me, you're in-

"Wait Nat, hold up, do you have any idea what you're saying right now, have you gone completely insane?!" Fury radiated off the tip of my tongue, a sneer making it's way onto my face as my words laced with anger.

"I love you Natasha, I've spent the last year trying to freaking find you, and you want me to leave you alone?" I continued, my voice becoming a little bit gentle and my expression softening from fury, to that of a pained one.

"You're doing nothing for me but causing inconvenience! You love me right? Then leave me the fuck alone Brody, leave me to do what I need to."

Now I was furious.

"An inconvenience? A fucking inconvenience! What haven't I done for you Natasha? I had your back through everything, you told me you're a damn killer and I still wanted to love you, to love ALL of you? I know you feel what I feel Natasha, I know this isn't you, please baby, just come back to me, we can have a perfect life, please," I pleaded with her, my voice strained as I held out the smallest bit of hope.

"Don't you fucking get it Brody, we could never be perfect, I have too many flaws Brody, you deserve someone better than me, I-

"I don't want someone else, why are you doing this? I love you baby, and I know you love me too, that day you told me you love me, you-

"I made a fucking mistake Brody, I shouldn't have told you I love you that day knowing full well it wouldn't have led to anything, it was a moment of weakeness, it was stupid and selfish of me to do, and I'm so sorry, but I told you that day and I'm telling you again, I don't deserve you Brody, I'm not fucking good enough for you," her voice was soft and pleading.

"Natasha please, come back, turn yourself in we'll make it work, we'll talk to the authorities, I'll wait for you, please-

"Brody I'm telling you for last time, whatever we had, it's never going to be the same, live your life Brody. Goodbye."

And with that, the line cut.

Tears pooled my eyes as I replayed her words in my eyes.

I made a mistake

Leave me alone

It'll never be the same

"Are you ok?" I turned my head around quickly as the sound of a voice took me out of my trance, "Yeah, I'm alright," I smiled to the confused female as I suddenly remembered that I was stood in the middle of Campus Canteen.

Tears still clouding the back of my vision, I stalked off and began to make my way back to my dorm room, deciding I was in no mood to be attending a lecture right now.

Even when she's not here, she manages to drive me crazy.
