Emily POV
And yes, there I was, offering myself as cannon fodder for the simple fact that my heart was now beating differently thanks to Nathan.
My whole life had been turned upside down thanks to the brown-haired man with the pretty eyes and charming smile who had finally managed to entangle me to the point of offering my emotional stability just for the sake of seeing him at ease.
"Promise me?" he whispers resting his elbows on his knees and lowering his gaze to the floor hiding from my sight.
Even though I had already given it my all, it seemed that something was still weighing on him inside.
"I'm not giving you a free hand to hurt me either, huh" He joked but that doesn't comfort him and kept him still: "Nathan..."
I move on top of the couch and settle right next to him, I put one of my hands on his back and one on his arm in an attempt to comfort a little of the anguish that seemed to be eating away at his insides.
