Unbroken.

I slowly opened my eyes and immediately shut them as the sunlight came in through the window. My eyes felt oddly dry. Then I remembered why. I had never cried in front of anyone before, let alone a guy. I mentally slapped myself for letting Andy see me like that.

I noticed that his hair was spiking up at odd ends and his lips were pouted slightly. His arm was draped over my waist and I couldn't help to think that it would be amazing to wake up everyday like this.

What are you thinking? You can't get feelings for him!

I sighed and sneaked out of bed. I looked at the alarm clock on my night stand and noticed that it was 10 a.m. I mentally groaned. I had to be at work in a couple hours.

I slid into the bathroom and took a quick shower, letting the hot water loosen my muscles. Once I had felt I had showered long enough, I got out and dried myself off. I wrapped a towel around me and picked out some black skinnies and an Aerosmith tank top. I quickly changed and applied some eyeliner and mascara.

I quietly made my way down to the kitchen and got out some eggs and bacon from the fridge. I turned the stove on and began to cook breakfast.

After about seven minutes I plated the food onto two plates. Andy was probably going to be up soon anyway. I picked up the plates and felt someone wrap their arms around me.

"Andy?" I asked.

"Yeah, Kit?" he responded. His voice was so deep and gravely from sleep, that it sent shivvers down my spine.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, um....nothing," he said, pulling away from me.

"Uh...I made you some breakfast," I told him, handing him a plate.

"Thanks," he mumbled as he sat down at the kitchen table.

We ate in silence for a few minutes. Occassionally, I would look up from my food and see him looking at me.

"Andy, about last night....," I said.

"What about it?"

"I'm not...I can't....I don't want to give you the wrong impression. I'm not some girl that you need to take care of or anything. Last night was just not good for me. I'm sorry you had to see me like that. I promise you won't have to deal with that again."

Andy looked at me like I had just said the most bizzarre thing.

"You don't have to apologize for anything, Kit. I get it. Things may have been rough for you yesterday. But, I didn't feel like I had to take care of you. I wanted to take care of you because you seemed like you needed someone."

I bit my lip and averted my gaze. I noticed that Andy had finished his food and I had finished mine, so I got up from my seat and took the plates and placed them in the dishwasher. I turned back around and gasped as I saw Andy a few inches away from me.

He held one of my hands in his and I immediately pulled my hand away. Andy looked at me curiously for a moment. I looked down at my feet. God, was this uncomfortable.

Andy lifted my chin with his hand so that I was looking him in the eyes. He inched his face slowly closer to mine to the point where I could feel his hot breath hit my lips. I felt myself begin to melt into his touch.

"Why are you being so distant with me?" Andy asked.

I opened and closed my mouth a few times before saying, "I can't do this....."

"Do what?"

"Whatever we're doing. I can't do it."

"Why not?"

"I just can't..."

"That doesn't answer my question," Andy said quietly.

"This won't work out. I never does. I'll end up breaking things off because....because...," I whispered, closing my eyes.

"Because why? Please, tell me."

I opened my eyes and felt my stomach tie up in knots.

"Because I'm afraid," I admitted.

"What are you afraid of, Kit?" Andy asked, getting closer to me, if that was even possible.

"I'm afraid that if I let myself get close to you that I will fall in love."

"Why is falling in love a thing to be afraid of?" he asked as his eyes looked down at my lips.

His lips were almost touching mine. I wanted so badly to give in to what my heart wanted. I wanted to kiss him and feel his lips upon my own. I wanted him to hold me and make me feel safe. But my cellphone buzzed in my pocket and my head took over.

I gently pushed him away from me and looked at him as I saw the hurt form in his eyes.

"Falling in love only leads to heartbreak," I muttered as I grabbed my keys and headed out the front door.
