God forbids, I'll ever have to do something I don't want to do or stay away from someone I want to be with...
As for now...I am just trying to convince myself that I want to do what I am suppose to do...and I don't want to be with the one I want....
I am not sure if its working... :(..Not yet..

"Jake?" she asked, picking up the telephone receiver with trembling hand, "It’s me, Annie"
"Hi Annie," He answered in a low, quite voice.
"You really scared me, yesterday," she began. "It sounded as though you were trying to say good-bye to me, Jake."
"I was," he replied. "You’re better off without me, Annie. I don't want to let you go, but I have to. It wouldn't be fair of me to drag you with my miserability. I have seven years of my sentence left to serve, Do yourself a favour, and forget about me."
"I caught a smallmouth bass, today," she interjected. "The fish had completely swallowed the fly, and it caught in its stomach. We call it being 'gut hooked'. The thing is, once a fish is gut hooked; you can't remove the hook without killing it. There's no catch and release for a fish like that, even if you wanted to."
"Okay," he hesitated, wondering what had prompted this bit of information.
"Jake, I'm gut hooked." She Confessed. "If you release me, my body may not die, but my heart will."
"Annie, please don't do this," he begged, suddenly understanding where this discussion was leading.
"I have to," she replied, wiping away the tears that were coming to her eyes. "Jake, I love you."
