“Fuck, Gracie. I don’t even know what I’m doing here. We both just lied to your brother about not wanting to go out with them, and for what? Nothing is going to come from this.”
She flinches, hurt swimming in her eyes. I swallow my guilt.
“If you don’t know why you’re here with me, then leave. Right now.” Her voice is cold, emotionless. It strikes me harder than a brick to the head.
“Graci—”
“Go!” she shouts, angrier than I’ve ever seen her. “Go wash your fucking hands of this, and then get out of my room.”
I nod. There’s nothing I can say right now that she wants to hear. I know I don’t like to see her upset, but that doesn’t change anything.
I’m not the white knight.
I’m the villain that would end up trapping her in a steel tower and refuse to let her back down. She would suffocate in my world. Gracie Hutton is too bright to spend her life in my darkness.
It’s silent as I get off the bed and head to the bathroom. It’s painful to try to pretend like I’m not single-handedly crumbling a human heart in my hands as I do.
I catch movement from the corner of my eye and turn to see her on her side, facing the wall on the opposite side of the room. My cum is dried to her skin, and I hate myself a little bit more for that.
With a shake of my head, I walk into the bathroom and wet a washcloth with warm water before going back to the bed. Gracie flinches when I start wiping her back but doesn’t say anything. I might be an absolute asshole, but I’m not a Neanderthal. She deserves whatever mildly soft part of me I can give her.
The silence is heavy as I move the cloth between her legs and then back up before heading for the bathroom again. This time when I get away, I shut the door and slam my head against it.
What the fuck am I going to do now?
