If only I could...

"Three years and you haven't changed" he said as he walked slowly to me not breaking eye contact. “don’t come any closer” I said as I keep stepping away from him. “Don’t tell me what to do” he said as he kept taking slow but long steps towards me as if I were his prey. “ Why can’t you just leave me alone” I said almost sobbed thinking what would happen if he keeps coming closer. I felt my back hit the balcony rails telling me there’s nowhere else to go unless he moves back. “You think I never tried?” He said with a laugh as if it was a joke. “Three painful fxxxxxx years Mallory! And I can’t get you out of my heart even though I know what kind of vicious snake you are “ he said and gritted his teeth as if trying to hold back. I couldn’t say anything because I didn’t think he would be thinking of me after kicking me out of his house during our engagement party before hundreds of guests present and millions through the media. One step was all he took and he was in my personal space, on the balcony of the castle with the paparazzi outside the house with close view of my back and his face. “It’s Draken Tucks” someone shouted below as I feel the cameras being flashed at my back but they can’t see my face. I tried to run to push him away and ran but he caught me and kissed me. I froze as the chaos of the paparazzi drowned out and my heart beating slowly and loudly. I heard people screaming "who's that?" "that's not Ashley' Then one voice that was always special in my ears called out to me softly yet was clear from the crowd "mommy!"
