Dylan
Sky endsthe call and I stand on the balcony of my hotel room, beneath the bright sunshine, as I watch my world cave in.
My shock at her discovery takes away any words of explanation I have. I need to explain so much, but nothing comes out of my mouth except a hollow denial. Sky didn't demand answers or scream at me, but spoke in a low voice asking for honesty. When I couldn't reply, she told me that until I can tell her the truth I should stay away from her.
Nothing I could say would undo the damage because who I am is who I'll always be. My choices shaped me, carved me into the man I am. I can never walk away from the Dylan Morgan I created that night. After all this time, I have my punishment—I’ve lost Sky because she's discovered I'm not the man she thought she knew. How I ever thought I deserved something as good as life with Sky, I'll never know.
Jem has what he wants—he's ruined my chance with Sky, as I ruined his with Lily. His obsession with Lily ripped into our friendship; Lily's obsession with me tore us apart.
After three years, the ugly has been resurrected. I left it too late to tell Sky the facts when I had so many chances. An insane part of me planned to ask Lily to explain to Sky what happened, in the hope Sky would understand. Lily’s actions prove she doesn't forgive me, and that her story hasn’t changed.
I don't think Sky will accept the truth, and I don't think the truth about what happened is any better than what she believes now.
To be continued…
