I squint my eyes confused, "Hello? What do you mean no? You just have to accept this, I do not want anything between us."
"Why is that?" He gives me an intense stare.

"Stop making this all about Ryder!" He snaps, startling me, but then he quickly exhales, composing himself again.
"You trust him too much. You do not even know anything about him."
"Exactly the way I know nothing about you," I interrupt him, "But with the little I know about him, I know he is much better than you are. You are just a creep."
This time around, he does not react to my words, his eyes do not twitch, his eyes are no more reddened, his face is contorting with horror anymore.
"Are you listening to me?"
He chuckles, "I see. What exactly did you Ryder tell you?"
I hold my head, my chest already tying knots, "What is with all these incessant questions? You are obviously disturbing me."
