"Don't ruin your life because of me."

I just can't take it, seeing him like this, all messed up and tangled, all because of me, of my habit of jumping into conclusions that easily. It's all my fault.

I opened my eyes, looked at him, but he's still standing there. Although his hands are not into fists already, I can tell that he's still crying, with his shoulders and back shaking and all. I wanna run to him. Hug him. Protect him, even if there's no one to protect him from except myself, the one who made him like this. I want to comfort him, pat his back, tell him that everything's going to be alright. Caress his face, squeeze his cheeks, and kiss him.

But he's too far from my reach.

"Adam, please..." Anyone who's with us right now would hear the begging and pleading in my voice. "Let's talk. Please don't do this."

I saw his shoulders fall and relax, and he slowly stepped backwards, down from the edge, and set his feet on the floor, his back still turned to me. I stepped forward but stopped. He slowly faced me, and when I saw his face, I swear I could hear my heart shatter and my tears stream down like falls.

He looks tired, so tired, as if he didn't sleep yet, and his eyes are drooping and red from all the crying. There are black circles under his eyes, and tears are still flowing from his eyes, and his cheeks are stained with salt tears. I wanna kiss those tears away.

"O-Oh my G-God, I'm so s-sorry..."

I ran to him, caressed his face with my hands, wiping his tears away with my thumbs as my own tears are flowing down as well. I smiled at him, telling him that I'm happy and glad to see him, touch him, feel him.

"N-Nikki..."

He reached out, clasping my cheek, his eyes wide. I held his hand, the one touching my face, gave it a squeeze and nodded at him happily. When he finally assured and confirmed that it's really me, he hugged me and sobbed at my shoulder, his hand running down my hair a few times.

"Oh God, Nikki. I missed you. So much. You don't know how much I missed you."

He pulled away, and before I could even blink, he already pressed his lips against mine, claiming me. I responded, looping my arms around his neck, drawing him closer to me. I missed him so much. We didn't have so much memories with each other, but even so, we treasure them. Every second, minute, hour, day, week, and month. Even if most of those times we spent with each other are just plain and casual, I'm still glad that we met.

"W-Why are y-you here? H-How did you--"

"I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry I jumped into conclusions easily, and I didn't even let you explain yourself. I should've trusted you, stayed and waited for you until you explained but I let my emotions drag me away, away from us, away from you."

"I feel so bad. For hurting you, Kaitlyn, and most especially, Trev. I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry..."

He tilted my chin up, kissed my tears away, and smiled at me.

"I know it's still too early to say this, but not having you in my life will be the death of me. I'm sorry, too, so don't feel bad about yourself. We all make mistakes, and these, are just some of them. I'm just glad that you're here, Nikki."

I smiled at him wholeheartedly. "Enough wih the dilly-dalling. Just shut up and kiss me."

He grinned at my boldness, pressed his forehead against mine, and claimed my lips.

Then and there, I know that the following days would be the best days of my life. Epic, great, and awesome.
