Still, he held on. “I know how things have been between us,” he said quietly, “and I take responsibility for my part in that.”

My hands stilled against his chest, “I understand why you don’t want me around. I do,” his voice drops, “but I can’t just let you walk away when you’re like this.”

My fingers taps weakly against his chest again, but there wasn’t much strength behind them anymore.

My throat tightens, and eyes burns. Then another tear slips down my cheek and another, till I squeeze my eyes shut.

Fuck.

This was getting worse, I was getting worse. And the weaker my hands became against his chest, the more pathetic I felt for letting him see me like this.

I wanted to scream, wanted to beg for everything to stop. For the tears to stop and the ache in my chest to stop. For the fucking pain to stop.

It had been too fucking long

My life had always seem like one endless cycle of heartbreak, disappointment, and loss, and apparently, it wasn’t stopping anytime soon.

I just wanted to be happy, just once, only once

Was that really too much to ask?

Landon’s hand moved slowly up and down my back. “It’s going to be okay,” he murmurs, “I have no clue why you’re crying, but whatever it is, it’s going to be okay.”

I hated this, hated being in his arms. Hated that he’d seen me like this and hated that he was the one having to console me.

But most of all, I hated that the tears refused to fucking stop. Why wasn’t I stopping? Why was I crying so damn much?

I was beginning to get annoyed with myself.

This wasn’t me, I don’t do this, I don’t break down in hallways. I don’t allow myself to feel this much. So why

had I?

Why had I allowed myself to open that door? I’d spent years believing that keeping my heart closed was the only way to avoid feeling like this.

And then, for the first time, I’d let someone in, I’d actually let myself feel, and this was what I got.

Pain wasn’t even the right word for it, pain didn’t do justice to this feeling.

I finally push gently away from Landon and he releases me, his eyes following me as I wipe my cheeks harshly with the back of my hand.

“Just forget it,” I didn’t wait for his response as I turned and hurried out of the classroom.

The moment I stepped into the hallway, the sea of bodies swallows me. Students moved in every direction. voices blending into one overwhelming noise as I squeeze between them.

I furrowed my brows as I stared down at my phone, nothing again. I had been trying to get to Delilah for days, and I still couldn’t figure out if she was deliberately avoiding me or if she was genuinely busy.

Either way, it was driving me fucking crazy. I needed to talk to her, needed to explain myself. She deserves to know why I’d wanted to take Olivia to the Fall Festival.

It wasn’t what she probably thought it was

I’d made a stupid decision, one I’d regretted almost immediately, and I needed her to understand that. Ryder had knock some sense into me when he had called me out on it. He’d made me realize exactly what I was doing and, more importantly, who I actually wanted.

Delilah
