Chapter 6

Violet’s POV

Once again, I felt stinging in my eyes. So I did the one thing that had to be done, even if it was the biggest lie I ever said. 

“I don’t love you anymore, I don’t want you. And even if I did, this thing between us,” I waved with my hand between us, “It will never happen. I can’t love you. I just can’t. The risk of losing you is something I am not willing to take.” 

With those words I turned around and got in my car. Once inside, I locked the doors and turned my face to look at him once more. The pain I saw in his eyes made my heart break a little and my eyes started to fill with tears.

Before I could regret what needed to be said and done, I drove away and forced myself not to turn around. I looked straight ahead when I once again let my heart shatter to pieces and drove away from the only man I ever loved.
