I've always known the Devil could be ruthless, but it still hurts to hear the utter absence of emotion in his voice.
Just let him go, Sheena.
I asked for his help, and the Devil protected me as he promised. I have no reason to keep him from leaving, but...
"Does it have to be this way?"
"Yes."
An almost crazed laugh escapes me, but this only has him leaning back against his seat like I'm starting to bore him.
"Is that all you can say?" I choke out. "Are you just going to keep saying 'yes'—-"
"Yes."
He might as well have told me to fuck off, and while I know this is the part I should salvage what pride I have left and leave...
I just can't.
Don't say it, Sheena. Don't say it, don't say it.
I don't have any pride where the Devil is concerned, and that's when I hear myself whisper, "I love you. D-Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
Please God, please.
I don't need the Devil to love me back right this moment.
All I want is a chance for me to stay in his life and win his heart.
That's all I'm asking for, but life right now...just seems to enjoy kicking my butt, since all the Devil does in return is knock on the window, and someone from outside immediately opens the door for me to leave.
"There's no way someone like me should ever end up with someone like you."
His words flay my heart like a whip, and the last straw...the very last straw that breaks my heart into pieces is how courteous he still sounds when he tells me topleasestep out of the car and leave.
