Adea
The link ended and I tightened my grip on the wheel. My words echoed in my mind and made my stomach churn. Lies. Everything I said had been a lie. I wanted to yell it, scream it at the top of my lungs. I didn’t mean any of it.
I wanted to take it all back and tell him what happened. I wanted to tell him why I said the things that I said. I wanted to make him understand and beg for his forgiveness. I wanted to figure out if there was a way we could beat Shane together. Maybe he would agree with my plan and let me go.
I laughed. Yeah, now I was being crazy. Downright crazy and probably stupid. I knew he never would have agreed. That’s why I went with it. That’s why I didn’t tell Gabe. That’s why I left in the middle of the night while he was sleeping.
I knew I couldn’t be selfish and hoped that he would agree with me. Had he known, I wouldn’t put it past him to have kept both Gabe and Leo on me 24/7. I couldn’t allow my dream to unfold.
