#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.
