Don't Think I Don't Care!

     "Why don't you care about anything," he asked, "why don't you care about anything, about me?"
     "Because if I care, I care too much and when I care too much I get hurt. Not anyone else, me, I get hurt." I answer as I keep walking.
     "But sometimes that is okay." He says to me with eyes pleading like a puppies for food.
     "What is okay? I get hurt? Or caring to much and getting hurt?" I snap back stopping at the vending machine to buy a water. "Either way if I care even a little I end up extremely hurt."
     "Lily, I won't hurt you, you can care about me." He said stopping me by my arm and turning me to face him.
     "Why? This will most likely end in heart break, mainly my heart will be ripped out, that's why I don't care, or try not to." I said knowing what will happen in a relationship.
     "Let me be your boyfriend, you can care about me."
     "Why? So we can get ice cream together, and listen to music, and travel across galaxies, only to have it end in slammed doors, heartbreak and loneliness? Sure, where do I sign up?" I practically yell as I keep walking and he keeps following me. "By the way that quote was from Siri, my phone, aka my personal guidance counselor."
     "Lily, open your heart to me and care because I love you and I will not hurt you, there would be absolutely no good reason for me to hurt you." He told me sounding and looking genuine.
     "I can't Logan, at least not until I'm sure."
     "Then I can wait, I will wait for you as long as I have to for you, until you are sure." He said walking away as tears streamed down my face.
     "I do care about you, I love you." I said whispering and feeling the unbearable pain in my chest as tears kept running down my cheeks. I turned and started walking, crying, like nothing happened.
