I returned home hours later, buggered.
I went straight for my room and when I got there, I found her lying on the bed - Bethel.
She was curled up under the duvet and was fast asleep.
I ambled to where she was and sat on the edge of the bed, staring into her face.
She was so pretty and her long hair fell over her eyes.
I thought of waving it aside, but stopped myself.
She was a nice person - perhaps. But I couldn't fall in love; no I couldn't.
It'd only hurt her.
That's the reason I never wanted to go on with this marriage stuff. I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me.
But since its already happened...
I just can't fall in love. I wasn't ready for it.
And I hate it that I was forced into this.
I sighed and leaned on the wall. My head ached a lot.
