The world seemed to dissolve after Kylo left. I was a ball of tears and heartbreak. I slumped to the floor beside my bed and allowed the sobs to consume me.
Kylo had just broken up with me.
It wasn't just that, but my fear.
Fear of drifting somewhere else. To someone else. Someone I shouldn't be with.
My door creaked open slightly, and Liam's soft voice inquired, "Mum? Are you alright?"
Oh, Liam, I was far from being alright.
The mere sound of his concern only intensified my anguish. I couldn't face him, couldn't explain that Kylo had left my heart shattered into pieces.
Crying my eyes out until they were puffy and heavy, I drifted off to sleep.
And with sleep came dreams, or perhaps nightmares. Gamma Rhett's name slipped from my lips occasionally, subconsciously.
"Rhett."
"Oh, Rhett."
