“You think someone like me can love someone like you?” You look at me with pity and it’s tearing me apart. “I. Love. You. Not! I used you. And I shared you with my brother. I fucked you in all ways. He pretended to be me. We confused you. Abused you. And you let him do it to you!” With a tug, you pull your hand out of mine. “I had my fun, Carter had his fun, and now it’s over. So, don’t bother me, Alayna! I. No. Longer. Want. You.”
For the first time in my life, I can’t control a sob breaking through my lips, shaking me to my core. Your cheek muscle twitches, but you don’t avert your gaze.
I am so confused and I can hardly see anything. I’m confused. I’m mixed up. What the hell are you saying? You what? Toyed with me? You...shared me with Carter without me knowing? You, uh...don’t love me at all? You told me all this just to fool me so you could have your fun with me?
Your words plunge deep into my soul, shredding it. I don’t even notice that I stand up, but as I do, I can only stare at you, stu
As icy as never before, as if you were observing a stranger who doesn’t interest you.
“Thanks for everything,” you say mockingly and I gasp. I can’t believe what I heard and now...now I want to get out of here as badly as I wanted to get in.
The tears never stop flowing. I can’t breathe and try to breathe deeply, but all I manage is another gasp because it feels like my chest has shattered and bone fragments are piercing my organs. I do not realize all this since my mind does not comprehend your words, but they do reach my heart, which is why it is shattering. It shatters into a thousand pieces, just like my soul.
“Alayna, please don’t collapse now. They always break down,” you murmur to yourself in disbelief and that snaps me out of it. With a jerk, I turn away. I have to get out of here. I can’t breathe! I have to get out of here. Out, out, out.
And I go. I leave without looking back. But I know that you will keep the fragments of my heart that you shattered in your hands.
I know it, Caden. I know you will have my heart forever and yet, I have never hated a human as much as I hate you right now.
I hate you, Caden Rush.
