"Celeste!" Rusty yelled at me, but I ignored him.
I gripped the hem of Arik's t-shirt and sobbed again.
"I-I'm sorry, Arik. I'll change. I can change that. I was just... I was just too excited and dumbfounded when Faye told me you're lucid now, and this is what I see. I'm sorry, Arik. Please, let's go home. Not like this. I don't... I don't want us to break up. It can't be..." I pleaded and burst into tears.
I clutched my chest. I pounded it gently because it felt like darkness was slowly taking me away. My heart ached. Everything in me hurt. This wasn't what I expected to happen.
"Enough, Celeste. Go home."
"N-no, please. Just tell me what I did..." I looked at him again and begged. He just took a forceful breath as if he wasn't really interested in what I was saying.
"D-did I do something wrong? Don't you love me anymore?"
