Lie To Me novel Chapter 10

My days passed like a blur. I also just locked myself in my apartment for a whole week and if Hans hadn't bothered me, I wouldn't have been able to go out.

All week I reflected on what had happened in the past few days, and to this day I still cannot accept that my actions were just like that. And every time I do that, I only prove more and more stupid for that person.

But is it my fault?

I have been questioning myself about it and this is the worst part of it. That every time I punish myself for my actions I always end up with another question; that if it's my fault, I'm still acting like that even years later? Is it wrong for me to be like that because until now I am not ready? I'm not ready yet because I'm still hurting.

I sighed.

I never thought I would end up with this thinking, with this situation.

If I only knew.

"What do you and Russell have?" Reysa asked. Startled, I turned to her.

This woman, come to me just for that question. It was still work time and many papers are waiting on my desk for today.

"Friends." I answered.

"Friends my ass. You're always together then just friends? Who are you kidding?" She said.

"We're just friends." I repeated.
