Chapter 17 Mia

As the morning came, I woke up with hopes of feeling much better. Unfortunately for me however, it didn't turn out to be the case because immediately I opened my eyes, the memories of that horrid shock in his eyes came creeping back into my mind like a disease. Withering in slowly like some sort of persistent, crawling insect that was determined to get inside my head no matter how much I resisted.

In the end, I gave up trying and just stared blankly into the ceiling. Wondering if I could ever find enough courage to face him again after what happened.

It all seemed quite unlikely because even after sleeping on it, the pain of his rejection still lingered deep in my heart and the shame that came with it was all too much for me to handle.
