RUNAWAY

HECTOR APOLLO ARAGON

My whole world just stopped. That even though I knew the truth, I still seemed shocked and hurt. That even though I knew the truth, I still seemed to hope that I would hear another answer from him.

The deadly silence filled the whole room. I could hear nothing but my sobs and the slow beating of my heart. But the voices inside my head are loud and strong. It was as if something suddenly exploded inside me and I was the only one who felt it's shock. It was as if I was suddenly deaf.

My mouth fell open but no words came out. My knees weakened and I sat on the floor.

"Solei!" Hector yelled and immediately attended to me.

"Don't fucking touch me," I said firmly to him and pushed him away from me. "Don't you even dare?"

"Solei, please. Listen to me first. I can explain everything—"

"I don't want to believe anything from you anymore, so stop it," I cut him off and tried to stand up.
