Not remotely.

I need answers. And I need them now.

I burst through the doors of the girls’ dormitory and take the stairs two at a time.

My heart sits somewhere in my throat.

Figuratively.

Because I don’t have one.

A heart, I mean.

I thought perhaps Piper had managed to wake it from its long slumber.

But if she managed to bring it back to life, she also managed to bury it.

Fuck this.

I knew I should’ve stayed away.

Especially with the unhealthy fixation I seem to have on her.

And because I knew there were things she wasn’t telling me.

I just never imagined one of them would be a fucking husband.

But do I really care that she’s married?

Fuck no.

Not really.

What I care about is that she didn’t tell me.

And I can’t stomach the thought of her belonging to someone who isn’t me.

That shit eats at me.

Literally.

I feel as though I’m suffocating.

I can’t fathom her being with another man.

My girl. My Piper.

And that thought angers me. Because I don’t share what’s mine.

And somewhere along the way, I decided Piper was exactly that.

Bloody mine.

Then she turns around and tells me she’s married.

Fucking impossible.

Not while I’m alive.
