Chapter36

#Chapter36

I hesitate before saying, /"I know what you said to Brandon, in the hallway. After that, I find it very hard to believe you. After last night—/"

/"God, Emma, I didn't mean what I said to him. I was just—I was just trying to throw him off, get him out of the way. What can I say? I'm jealous. I don't want you with other guys./"

/"You need to go. I told you the first night that we can't be together again. I meant it. I don't want you thinking that you can win me over because I'm done with you./"

/"Then why do you keep coming to my house? Why do you hang around me?/"

I swallow. /"Because—because of Brandon. I'm there for him, Kaden./"

/"So you two are together now?/"

/"You should go. We're closing up./"

He looks at me as if he can't believe what I'm saying, as if I'm betraying him. He shakes his head and turns to leave. /"Don't bother coming over anymore. Brandon won't be there./"
