The sky began to darken and lights began to glow in the darkness. The man's face held it's fearful look as he realized he had been caught. Caught by the most important thing to him; the thing he wanted to protect the most from the absolute worst. He knew it was over before it began. His heart trembled knowing that this moment was his number one fear.
The girl didn't know what to think. Thoughts raced through her head, as did her heart. The nightmare had only just begun. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. Her entire world that she knew seemed to fall apart from the moment she caught him. Everything she thought she knew now changed as reality hit her like a bus. The man she gave her whole self too was not the man she thought him to be.
"Tom..." Her voice cowered back, afraid of what he could possibly become. Who was he really, now that she knew about his other side.
"I can explain, but you have to hear me out." He tried to speak calmly, but felt a shiver as he thought of a possible outcome, all pointing to something he didn't want to deem possible. The idea that the girl who became his universe, his everything, could leave him indefinitely.
"What is there to explain? You have lied to me this entire time about something this big!" Her voice quivered, yet showed strength at the same time.
"That I wanted to protect you. I wanted to keep you put of this world. This terrible one that I'm trapped in. I wanted to keep you put of it. I need you to be safe because I love you more than anything." He began to whisper as he began to inch closer to her.
"The only question I have is why? Why is killing your reality? Why are you trapped in something you don't want a part of?" Tears streamed down her face as overwhelming anxiety filled her core.
"I went down a path no one should ever choose. I thought I was doing good by my father. I was forced into this and if I try and leave, everything will be lost forever. They will go after the best thing in my life. I can't lose you. Not now, not ever."
The man pulled the girl into a tight embrce as if she would disappear from right in front of him.
She had a difficult time accepting the new information in front of her. Her love being affiliated with the mafia? His father being the leader and ruining his own son?
"I don't know anymore. I don't think I can do this." She said this as she pushed him away from her. This was the first time she ever felt like she was being suffocated by him and his love.
"Please don't leave me." His voice was was losing it's grip as he continued to speak in a hushed tone.
"Tom, I.."
He placed his lips upon hers in that moment. She melted into it, but soon realized what was happening.
"Tom, I can't." She turned her back on him for the very first time, walking farther and farther away from the best thing that happened to her as tears gushed from her eyes.
