#Chapter27

|Present|

That's when my heart dropped.

Today was October second!

Which meant...

Today was Megan's birthday!

My eyes cut to Hunter's face and the look of devastation I saw there almost made me crumple to the ground.

He didn't want to be alone on Megan's birthday, that's why he asked me to be with him.

I am a horrible person

At this particular moment I hated myself.

/"I'm sorry./" I whispered.

His gaze remained fixated on the ground. My heart clenched as I watched him turn away from me without another word.

I have to do something.

My breath hitched in panic as he started to walk away.

He was walking away from me.

I knew that if I didn't do something right now he'd walk away forever and I didn't know if I'd ever be able to live with that guilt.

So I did the only thing which came to my mind.

I ran.
