The color has drained from his face. “I’m sorry.”
I stop pacing. Tears slide down my face. “You broke my heart.”
“I know.”
“You made me feel crazy. It felt so real when we were together – I thought there was no way we weren’t pretending when we were together, but you let me believe that even though it wasn’t true.”
I’m overwhelmed with emotions – anger, sadness, confusion.
I continue. “You broke my heart instead of just letting me make my own decisions. Fuck you, Bode. That’s even worse than my family. It’s so much worse. If you cared about me at all, you’d know that.”
“Juno please...I thought I was looking out for you. I thought I was protecting you.”
My brain feels like it’s buzzing right now. I hold my hand up. “I don’t want to talk about this anymore.”
I straighten my spine and wipe my face. Bode just stares at me from the couch looking helpless.
“Do you need anything else before I go upstairs?” I ask.
“To talk this out,” he pleads.
I start toward the steps and call, “There’s nothing to talk about.”
Chapter Sixty-Three
Bode
Eli sits down acrossfrom me and studies me. It’s been two weeks since Juno and I talked, and she stormed out of my life. I’m still on Eli’s couch.
He frowns. “Dude, I’m going to say this with love, but you stink. When was the last time you showered?”
I shrug. I should go back to my place and wallow in my misery. The problem is I don’t have the energy to get up.
“Do you think you have PTSD? From the robbery? That would be completely understandable.”
I shake my head.
