“How is it possible that it feels like you are breaking my heart, and I

haven’t even had you yet?”

My soul shattered. I broke in a hundred million pieces.

“I can’t make you trust me like I need you to. With your whole fucking

heart.” He searched my face, those blue eyes missing their usual light.

Reflecting only hurt. “I can’t make you run into my arms instead of in the

opposite direction. I just … can’t make you love me enough to give us a

chance.”

A hole opened in my chest, my knees almost giving out at the earth

beneath my feet tilting the wrong way. Unbalanced.

We stared into each other’s eyes for a long time, our hearts in each

other’s fists for all the wrong reasons. It all felt unreal. Like a cruel nightmare

I’d wake up from any minute now.

But it never happened. At some point, I thought I heard his phone ringing,

and I watched him ignore it until it rang again. And again. Then, I thought he

pulled it out of his pocket and peered down at the screen. But I wasn’t sure.

My head kept chanting, Trust him, trust him, trust him, making it hard for

me to make sense of anything else but that.

I was trapped by my own mind. Sucked in a vacuum where I didn’t grasp

time or space. Although I did remember one thing. And that was Aaron’s

back moving away from me. His legs walking him down the empty hallway

and him not looking back.

Not even once.
