XAVIER'S POV
She had to stay away from me. I was a loser with absolutely no future.
She deserved someone better; someone who wanted to live.
I didn't want to hurt her. It wasn't my intention to, anyways. But it was the only way I could get her to leave me.
No one is happy with me. I was nothing but this black hole. I took away other's happiness. My mum is stressed because of me. My sisters don't have a father because of me. Nicole ran away because of me.
Hell, even I'm not happy with myself. Then how could Ophelia be?
I saw the pain in her eyes as the tears made her eyes glassy. I wanted to hug her. Wipe off those tears and apologize repeatedly but that would've been selfish of me.
When my mum came home, her shoulders were shrugged with stress. She rubbed her eyes and forehead. She looked up and saw me. She put on a smile on her face.
"Where's Ophelia? Wasn't she going to have dinner here?"
