SPARKS FLY
Chapter One
 

"Do you think we're falling apart?"
The question rang through my ears like a thousand drums all being banged at the exact same time.  I stared blankly into his moss green eyes with my own boring brown ones.  I chewed nervously on my lip, and tried desperately not to cry. 
When I didn't answer him right away he quickly repeated his question.
"Iris, do you think we're falling apart?"
I knew this was a trick question and I knew what he wanted me to say.  "Maybe.... Yes, I think we are.". I heard myself quietly whisper.  Jake, my boyfriend of 2 years has been beating around the bush and trying to find a way to break up with me for the last month.  This, I guess, was what he thought would be the most appropriate way.
"Really?" I stared at him as emotions played across his beautiful face.  It went from shock instantly to relief, poorly masked.  No, actually I didn't think we were, I just said that so he'd be happy.  Truth is, I've been trying to save this relationship.
"Okay, well I guess the best thing for us right now is to take a break.   Ok, Iris?  I don't want to hurt you, but if it's not working-"
"Jake, it's okay.  I know you're not happy with me.  Please just spare me the embarrassment and go home.". I held open the door for him, ushering him out before I broke down.
"Thanks babe, I knew you'd understand.  You're always straight forward and logical, not like other girls and that's why I love you.". He planted a kiss on my cheek, grabbed his coat, then rushed out the door.  I watched as his messy brown head walk away from me and everything we had.  A single tear rolled down my cheek as I watched him walk down the hallway and turn the corner without  even a glance back in my direction.
"Then why are you leaving?". I mumbled as I slowly closed my door.
