Kian's POV
When Sam walked in a lump felt snug in my throat. What now? Was he gonna try something? I looked at Jade, "So, now what?"
She returned my eye contact, "I don't know." She looked down at her hands like a kindergarten child who just got confronted for doing something bad.
I raised her chin up where she was looking into my eyes, "Look, I know it's really unlikely but, Jade will you be my girlfriend?" My heart was on my sleeve and I was handing it to her with shaky palms and desperate ears, wanting to hear she wanted me.
"I-I-" she sat there mouth open and stuttering. My stomach twisted into itself.
Jade's POV
I wanted to tell him I loved him. I wanted to tell him I wanted to be with him. But I couldn't. My heart wouldn't tell my brain to tell my mouth what to say. My brain says no.
But my heart says yes.
But my brain and my body say no.
I looked at him, I couldn't break his heart. So, I ran. Ran out of my home. Ran away from Kian, from Tyler, from Matthew, from everyone.
I can't. I can't. I can't.
