Helanie:
My heart had crumbled into tiny pieces like a cookie. My eyes kept trying to hold back the tears, but there were times when it became too hard for me.
Right before my eyes, Maximus chose Charlotte.
I could only think back and remember when he was convincing me to share my past with him. Imagine if I had done that. We make mistakes when we are emotional and overshare. Thankfully, I didn't.
But would that help?
Right now, it wouldn't. Because I was devastated inside my heart. All I could think about was leaving this place and going back to the academy. I couldn't wait to kick Rayden's ass.
I began to think about other things to stop myself from crying and drawing attention to myself.
