#Chapter419
/"I did still need you, but what was there for me in that? Why would I stay? I told you I loved you and I wasn’t going to sit and watch you love someone else!/" She shakes her head at me, like I’m dense, which I clearly was when she puts it like that. She’s right, I would have expected her to endure me with someone else for the sake of being the good guy, when the thought of her with another has completely fucked me up for months. Complete hypocrite who was blinded to the actual reality of this situation.
I impulsively move towards her, so desperate to touch her when she’s in pain but she raises her hands away from me to tell me to back off and I swallow it back and clench my fists to pull back. We’re back in the sheltered dimness of my side garden and concealed once more, at least here I can block her in and stop her from running so easily this time.
