I flinch at his words, releasing him and stepping backward.
The reason I unintentionally stabbed him in the first place slams back into me.
I have to run.
I turn and sprint away, but my gaze keeps flitting to my bloodied hands, to Adrian’s life on my hands.
I finished it today. I think I finally signed the death certificate of our relationship. As fucked-up as it was, what we had was a relationship and I just killed it.
Thudding footsteps sound behind me and I know he’ll catch up to me in no time. He’ll take me back and it’ll all be over.
Jumbled thoughts and emotions coil inside me with a wrecking force. They mount and scatter in different directions, stealing my breaths.
My sanity.
My everything.
Reality blurs with something a lot more potent—hallucinations.
My demons start whispering in my head, words that I can’t even discern.
Oh, God, no.
Please don’t torture me with my own mind.
I dig my nails into my wrist and a tear slides down my cheek as pain explodes on my skin. If I hoped for this to be a nightmare, my wish doesn’t come true.
My feet come to a halt at the top of a cliff. I stare down at the violent waves hitting the harsh angular rocks with trembling limbs.
I don’t think I’ve ever been attracted to something so frightening.
No, I actually have.
Adrian.
Seems I’m broken beyond repair, because since the beginning, I think I was attracted to the danger he promised. And that only consumed me until there was nothing left.
He said he’d ruin me, and he did that with flying colors.
“Lia.”
My name leaves his mouth in a whisper, and I turn around to meet his gaze, my feet on the edge.
Adrian is a few steps away from me, deep lines etched in his forehead. “Come down.”
“So you’ll take me back and lock me up?” I taste salt, and it’s then that I realize tears are soaking my cheeks.
“No.”
“You will! You’ll also take Jeremy away from me for good. You’ll torture me with your silent treatment until I go mad or kill myself.”
“I will not do that.”
“You’ve been doing it already! Can’t you see that you’ve been slowly killing me? Killing us? You don’t even kiss me anymore.” I hate how my voice breaks with pain.
“That’s because you fucking cheated on me! I have only ever been faithful to you, but you met another man behind my back.”
“And you’ve been just using me!”
