She had been expecting it.
She had known it would be like this.
But her heart still hurt when Ashton told her they would have to end things.
Not because she was going to have to figure out how to help her mom some other way.
But because the past couple of months had taught her that rich or not, Ashton was a genuinely good person.
A rare gem.
"I understand," She nodded, "I'll pay you back the one million as soon as I can."
"It's my fault, I assumed," Ashton shook his head, "I shouldn't have tried to pretend I was gay."
Emmaline's world spun as she processed that statement.
Wait a second.
"You're not gay?" She blurted.
Ashton had a wry smile on his face as he shook his head, "You, or rather, Em, were the first guy I dated."
"Oh my god," Emmaline mumbled to herself.
Talk about top ten anime betrayals of all time. They double betrayed each other!
This made things so much worse.
