Going Steady

"You didn't mean it," I start. "Just go away Clove," he whispers dully. But I don't go away, I can't do that. Instead I lay down beside him and wrap my arms around him. My arm aches when I do, but I ignore the pain. For once love is stronger. We stay like that as the sun dips down from the sky. Because he needs me right now, and I'm not going anywhere.
