CHAPTER 116

"Because you're stopping me, it makes me want to be closer to you even more," Zach said.

"I said stop right there, Ash. Let me die. Let me move on. Let me be free. Do you think you're the only one who wants to forget the past? I, too, Ash. I want to be free from the past so I can do whatever I want without having to look back," Raven stated.

"You know I'm a selfish person, right?" Zach asked Raven.

"Of course I know that because I know you better than anyone," Raven replied.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do what you want; I can't stop because I'll lose you again," Zach said.

"How can you ever lose me again, Ash, if I never come back to you?" Raven asked.

"No matter what you say, I will not stop until I reach you. I will continue to come to you even if it costs my life. I am selfish, you know that, so I'm sorry if I can't let you go the way you want. I won't let you move on either or forget me. Not ever. I won't let anyone have you. You're only mine, Akisha, forever and ever," said Zach
