Her words reached him though the haze he was in, and it was a slap of cold reality. He withdrew his hand, to stare at her in disbelief. He didn't say anything, as she wouldn't look at him. "What do you mean, you can't see me again?" he asked his voice quiet and even, trying and failing to keep the hurt from his voice.
She says she CAN'T, not that she doesn't WANT to... he thought to himself. He decided to press it.
"I don't understand, I mean, I thought this went well...Did I read this all wrong?" His eyes pleading with her to explain, to tell him it wasn't true.
"Is it because...I'm...a...freak?" he asked softly, terrified of her answer.
