I’d fucking kept my promises to her.
And she’d ruined my fucking life.
Homecoming - Chapter 44
Saturday
Brooklyn
Are you kidding me?
I’m not the girl he knew?
That was all he had to say to me? After all these years?
He didn’t even give me a chance to explain. I just needed a few minutes to tell him what had happened. To have a conversation.
But he just walked away, like I meant nothing. And hadn’t I known that all along? That I never meant anything to him?
I felt my tears falling as my back slid down against the wall. My butt hit the ground and I pulled my knees into my chest as I cried.
I’d done what Miller said.
I’d tried.
I’m sorry, Miller.
My sobs echoed in the empty auditorium.
I hated that Miller was right. That I still had feelings for Matt. That after all these years, he’d still had a piece of my heart.
And it was all so…dumb. Matt no longer loved me. I knew that. And I’d clung to him anyway.
I buried my face in my hands.
How could a broken heart break again? How was that possible? Weren’t the broken unbreakable?
I cried harder, hugging my knees tighter to my chest.
I never should have kissed Matt. I never should have asked him for more. Because I didn’t want it. I’d made a mistake. I wanted nothing from him. Ever again.
No.
Never.
Nunca.
Fuck you, Matthew Caldwell.
