“Why are you treating this like it’s some fun outing? Don’t you understand how hard this is?” My voice comes out harsher than I intend, but I’m unable to temper my outrage.
Wright just shrugs. “Hey now, play stupid games, win stupid prizes, right? Bitch had this coming.”
His flippant remark ignites a fire within me. For a brief, alarming moment, my hand twitches with the urge to punch him, to smack that fucking smirk right off his hateful face.
And to my core, I’m shaken by how deeply Alessa has gotten under my skin, unraveling my restraint.
I dig my nails into my palm, regaining control through the sting. I can’t cause a scene. Not here. So I do the only thing Icando.
Giving Wright one last withering look, I turn on my heel and start to walk away, putting distance between us before I do something I regret.
“Hey, where are you going?” Wright calls after me, confusion coloring his tone.
I don’t look back or respond. I can’t stand to be near him a second longer.
Right now, I need space to think, to process...
To grieve.
Because as much as it pains me to admit, my heart aches at the loss of what Alessa and I shared.
And I can’t leave her like this. Ican’t.
Somehow, I have to find a way to make things right.
