"I love you, but...." [i]Alyssa wasn't sure if she should tell Charlie.[/i] "I'm scared for what would happen if you touched it...." [i]She shivered, and it wasn't because of the temperature.[/i]
-
[i]He slowly brush his hand down her cheek.[/i] "What could happen if I touched the coin? My hand smells like metal? Just hand it over..." [i]Charlie whispers in her ear in a suggestive tone.[/i] "...and I'll pay you back anyway you like, sugar."
-
"N-no, I-I just–" [i]Alyssa blushed furiously, pushing herself away from Charlie and backing away a little.[/i] "The coin... could wipe your memory for good...." [i]Alyssa somehow blushed more, averting her gaze.[/i]

[i]Charlie walked towards Alyssa and grabbed her by the shoulders. He looked into her eyes, searching for something. His eyes turned back to his normal brown and he had a confused look on his face.[/i] "How did we get into this position? I was just about to ask you a question and then poof we're like this. Did I miss something?"
-
"I-wh-what?" [i]Alyssa blinked, her mouth slightly open.[/i] "Charlie? Are you... alright?" [i]Her eyes were full of confusion, expression matching.[/i]
-
"Why wouldn't I be? I've got you don't I?" [i]Charlie chuckled.[/i]
-
"Heh.. yeah...." [i]Alyssa said, although there was something in her eyes, something like uncertainty.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie sighed and backed away.[/i] "I understand what you're feeling. I'm okay with breaking up if you really don't feel comfortable with someone like me."
-
"I-it's not-I just...." [i]Alyssa didn't seem to know what to say; she was extremely new to relationships altogether, and has most definitely never been through a break-up.[/i] "I-it just feels a little rushed... ya know?"
-
[i]Charlie nods.[/i] "It does, doesn't it? Just keep that coin of mine safe, will ya? I shouldn't be around it let alone touch it unless it's an emergency."
-
"I... alright...." [i]Alyssa's expression was sad, yet somewhere she felt that it was the right decision.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie smiles.[/i] "Hey, we're still friends, Miss Alyssa. Turn that frown upside down and lets have some fun later, eh?"
-
"Okay...." [i]Alyssa murmured, tears forming in her eyes as she looked away.[/i] "I-I'll see you around, Charlie...." [i]She said, holding back sobs. She turned, and ran off, her jolly mood long forgotten.[/i] ((Fin))
