And I need to know why.
I need to know what’s going on in his head.

Thunder claps overhead as I catch up to Reese.
“Wait,” I cry, right as the first fat drop of rain falls.
“Go home, Olivia.”
Not Olive. Not sweet cheeks or Liv.
Olivia.
“Not until we talk.”
“There’s nothing to say.” He reaches his car and wrenches the door open.
But I rush over to him and grab his arm. “You might not have anything to say, but I do.”
His eyes narrow, rain hammering down on us, soaking us both through. “What the hell was that back there?”
“What?” he grits out.
“This… us… what does it mean to you?”
“Mean to me?”
“Stop playing dumb, Reese. You act like you hate me, like you hate yourself for wanting me… why? What did I do? Just tell me what I—”
“What you did?” He grabs my arm, pulling me close. “You know what you did. You destroyed me.”
“W-what? I—”
“You want to know what this means to me?” He motions between us. “Nothing. You. Mean. Nothing.”
“That’s not—”
“What, the truth? It’s a game, Olivia. It’s always been a game.”
My heart shatters. “You don’t mean that. You feel it, I know you do. Reese—”
“You were a good fuck, babe. A means to an end. That’s all it was.”
“Liar.” I shove down the emotion clogging my throat.
He’s hurting.
Lashing out because of what Oakley said.
He doesn’t mean it. He doesn’t—
“I love you.” The words spill out in a rush. I can hardly breathe through the rain, through the pain rattling inside me.
“What the fuck did you just say?” Reese sneers.
“I-I’m falling in love with you.”
