weeks, waiting for the moment, when he would stop calling
and stop trying to see me.
But it still… hurt.
Goddamn it.
Giving Maddox Coulter my heart had been a mistake.
But this time… I had been the one to walk away from him.
“I FORGOT, WHEN ARE YOUR EXAMS?” Riley settled beside me
on the couch, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. I
sunk into her embrace and curled my feet under me.
“I have two back to back in two days, and another, the
day after next.”
We were now exactly twenty days from Christmas. My
life fell apart at a shitty time. Exams period were upon us,
and life got even crazier. I could barely study, barely focus
on my revisions for my exams. My mind was a mess, and
my heart just wasn’t in it. I constantly worried about
Maddox. He was never next door. From what I heard, he
was staying with Colton at his townhouse. The apartment
that we made into our home – it was now empty. Forgotten.
Abandoned.
“How are you feeling?” Riley asked cautiously.
“I feel like shit,” I said, shocking myself with my honesty.
“How’s Maddox?”
Her brows creased. “I don’t understand you. He hurt
you, you left him. There’s so much bitterness and heartache
there. Yet, you still ask me about him every day. Keeping
tabs on him. I don’t understand you, Babe.”
Fresh tears stung the back of my eyes, but I blinked
them away. “I still love him.”
“Then why did you leave?”
“Because sometimes love isn’t enough.”
