Chapter 185

Lucas

I’ve been walking for what feels like forever. Goddess knows how long it’s been. At first I was just wandering like a goddamn idiot, no clue where I was going. But finally…finally…I spot the path. The right one this time. Took me fucking hours, but I recognize it clear as day now, thanks to that damn tree where Aria and I carved our initials.

Yeah, that tree. That memory.

And just like that, she’s in my head again. Fuck. I’ve been trying…really fucking trying…to get her out of my damn mind for hours now, but it’s useless. A complete fucking failure. My chest is tight as hell, and my heart? It’s just aching like crazy. Every goddamn step I take feels heavier than the last.

Even with everything she did… I still don’t wanna believe it. I mean, I can’t. This is Aria we’re talking about. After all the shit we went through together, there’s just no way she’d do me dirty like that. But she did. And now I’m stuck out here, heartbroken and pissed as hell.
