I rubbed the back of my head, avoiding eye contact with the girl across from me. All the while that we'd been here, she'd been staring staggers into my forehead.

Jenna sure was a ray of sunshine.

Today would be my first day to visit Tyler since he'd been admitted into the hospital. I barely got a wink of sleep last night, and when I did, it was a nightmare. At this point, the nightmare didn't feel too different from my everyday life. My mom was dead— who was next? The boy I loved?

Let me rephrase that, actually.

The boy I loved, who loved my half-sister.

I couldn't help but feel a burning jealousy for Jenna. She had Tyler's heart wrapped around her little finger.

My appearance at his house had been completely unplanned. It was a split-second decision to face the boy who's heart I'd broken years ago, but I thought it would be a good decision.

Yeah, no.

If anything, seeing me just made him angry. I knew that deep down, a little bit of his heart still wanted me. I just had to find the perfect way to touch a nerve. I'd asked him to sit down and talk with me, telling him that I wanted to give him 'closure' about what'd happened.

I only got halfway through my story before I was distracted by my own emotions.

After Tyler told me about Jenna, I felt betrayed. I knew it was completely illogical, but part of me wished that Tyler hadn't moved on after we broke up. If it was my choice, we wouldn't've broken up at all.

Apparently, Tyler didn't like the fact that my idea of 'closure' was pretty physical. I'd only gotten as far as taking his shirt off and leaving a few hickies on his neck before he practically threw me off of him. Luckily, that was all Jenna needed to see before running away with her poor little broken heart.

To be fair, I didn't think Tyler would be able to escape the room that I'd locked him in, but it'd been a hasty decision anyways. I got to Jenna first anyways, and the first chat with my half-sister had gone lovely.

Nobody else but Tyler knew what we'd talked about that day, and that was how it needed to stay. The past was between us now.

"Luna Hollands? You may visit with Tyler Joseph now."

I stood up, my heart pounding in my chest.
