Amira POV

I had to get out of the house. I've been in my room all day, just thinking about Mazin and that wasn't helping my situation. I felt the room was caving in me. I was feeling claustrophobic so after I ate dinner, I went to the small park that was close to my neighborhood. It was around 7, so not a lot of people were outside. Which was fine by me because I wanted the park to be empty.

I usually came here sometimes when I need time to think. But I've been coming here more often these days because of that idiot, Mazin. The dreams are becoming more intense and I'm honestly becoming scared because they were so vivid, clear and realistic. Some nights it would go on for hours, the scene playing again and again and some nights, it would be a quick one. Still, I feared that they meant something.

By the time I arrived at the park, it was a little bit darker but I didn't care. I needed the fresh air. I've been helping Sarah all this week for her wedding. We spent three days looking for the perfect bride dress and shoes, we had to catered some food, and help decorate the hall. It was too much but I was happy for her. I've seen dying to tell her about the dreams but I kept quite. I didn't want to ruin her mood, her wedding was in couple days after all.

The wind was getting a bit stronger so I dug my sweater from the bag and put it on. I always bring one just in case because the weather was bipolar these days.

I should have brought something to eat.

I look around and saw from the corner of my eyes, a figure walking towards me.

I looked closer and saw that it was Mazin.

Whah the heck was he doing here? He lived in the west side, not the east.

As he came closer, my heart started to pound.

"Hello stranger." He grins goofily, sitting down next to me.

I moved away to get us some space. The bench wasn't meant for two person but Mazin didn't get that memo.

"You live around here?" I asked, but I already knew he didn't

He shakes his head." Nope my aunt lives around here and plus you told me you lived here remember? I just needed some fresh air."

"Yah me too,very calming," I said playing with me fingers

There was a comfortable silence between us, each of us in our own thoughts.

"You know I have a thing for cabins," He said after clearing his throat 

"Really?" I asked 

I hated cabins. It scared the living dead out of me. It alway reminded me of those scary movies on Netflix.

"Yah. My father has three of them and at winter time, I used to go down there with coupe of my friends." He said, a faraway look on his eyes.

"I rather be at the Bahamas." I add.

He grins." I knew you weren't a winter person. Don't you think time is going too fast? Just yesterday we were in high school."

"I know. And Sarah is already getting married," I replied, truly meaning me words

"I still can't believe they're about to get married. Two completely different person." He remarks

I had to agree. Adam was the quit type while Sarah is just.. Crazy and hyper.

"Opposites attract sometimes." I grin.

He looks at me in the eye." Yah they do."

The butterflies in my stomach fluttered wildly as he just stared at me, a faint smile on his face.

Did I mention Mazin has beautiful eyes? He would make you wanna stare at it for hours maybe years. I always got lost in it.

"So.... Are you done with the project?" I asked not know what else to say, its been like that these days

"Marry me," He looks at me, his question fazing me

I look at him, trying to see if he was joking. Trying to make a convention with. Trying to get my yo talks.

"What?" I said not knowing what else to say

"Marry me." He repeats.

No I heard him perfectly. Although it wasn't something I wanted to hear. Well at least not yet.

"Listen Amira." He begins, turning towards me.

No.. Please don't start.

"I'm sorry but I can't keep on waiting. I know I told you before but I want us to be together soon. Let me talk to your father," He replied, moving his hands into his jeans as if he was about to take his phone out

And just like I thought he did, opening it up. I quickly start to shake my head no.

"Mazin.. We've talked about this before, please put the phone away." I said nervously.

"I know we did but I don't know why you want to wait.. Unless you're hiding something from me.." He trailed off, a scared look on his face.

"No! I just.. I just need time." I say meekly.

Why did he have to come here tonight? I wanted to be alone. Get away from every thing else.

"Time for what? You know we can be engaged and not get married until we finish college right? I don't want to rush you but I want you to be mine," He implied

"I don't love you." The words came out of my mouth before I had the chance to stop myself.

Silence fills the playground. Everything was calm, the crickets chirping away.

The expression on his face was a mixture of shock and dismay. He didn't say anything, just stared at me.

"I've never loved you Mazin. It was all ..... a prank. I made you fall for me on purpose, just so I could crumble you heart like you did to mine," By now my heartbeat wasn't normal, it was like my hear was trying to jump out of my chest 

Shut up Amira!!

"I wanted to tell you sooner but I couldn't. I never had those feeling for, I never love you." I continue, my heart racing.

What the hell am I doing? I couldn't do this.

"A prank." He says, his voice cracking.

I nodded, fighting the tears. Why didn't he I Tell him? Why wasn't he mad? I bet mad was a understatement

"A prank." He whispers, with a baffled look on his face.

"It was a prank all along." I say, my own voice beginning to crack. I clear my throat and look away from his sad eyes.

I never knew it would be this hard. It hurt so badly, seeing him look at me that way. Why did I ever meet Mazin? Why did this hurt so badly?

Why did I have to be the fat freak years ago? Why did I ever come up with this plan?

"Why?" Was all he said.

"I told you why."

"You think I don't regret bullying you? You think I forgot about that? Every night I think about how I hurt you, what I did to you. Amira, I still haven't forgotten about it. If I had a chance to go back and change it, I would do it in a heartbeat. But I can't. I know it's going to take some time to get past it but.. You were faking all along? How could you that to me? I'm not saying I don't deserve it but.. God it hurts to badly." He puts his head down down, his shoulders shaking slightly.

Oh my god.. Was he crying?

I felt as though someone was slowly carving my heart out with a dulledged knife. I had never been exposed to such raw emotion, had never seen a man weep openly.

what did I do?

Oh my god, I went too far.

I can't breath. It was like half of my heart breaking, that half was Mazin. I was breaking him and it was breaking me.

He raised his head and turned to me, his face contorted with pain and anger.

I wanted to hold him. God, I wanted to hug him and tell him that it wasn't true. I loved him. I fell in love with him.

Why couldn't I control my stupid mouth?

"You're heartless." He says, standing up.

It felt like someone kicked me in the guts. The way he said it.

"Mazin wait." I get up and follow him.

"Don't talk to me Amira. Your plan worked right? That's all you wanted, so get the hell out of my face." He yells, startling me into shutting my mouth. He's never yelled at me before.

Only when he bullied me, which was years ago.
Years that I could have forgiven him for but didn't.

"Mazin, please let me explain." I plead, grabbing his arm.

"Explain? Explain what? You don't have to explain anything Amira. I understand." He said more softly.

"Please don't leave me." I beg, wiping the tears from my face.

He face softens a tiny bit, and he looks right into my eyes.

"You have no idea how much I love you, but your tiring that away, just like my heart," He voice was pained now

The sincerity of his words, the look of love and utter devotion on his face, makes my heart squeeze. I have never had anyone look at me like that.

"But now I can't trust you. You've broke my heart. I can't believe I never saw this coming." He adds, turning around and walking away.

"Mazin.."

He ignores me and keeps walking.

I just stood there, sobbing openly now, my shoulders rising and falling.

Why was I even crying?

I did this to myself. I deserved this, just like I did years ago.

"Mazin please come back." I whisper but there's no use. He can't even hear me.

He goes on the street and then pauses, looking back at me.

My heart starts racing. But he then he turns around and keeps walking. Walking away that I can't pull him back to me.
