(excerpt from chapter eight)

"Can you just please trust me?" Carter grabbed my wrist, spinning me around, "please?"

 "Why would I trust you?" I finally said with a shuddering breath, "I just don't think I can trust anyone, anymore."

"Matthew.." Carter looked at me sadly.

"I'm walking through hell with a smile on my face," I whispered, "and you haven't noticed for months. So, what's the point of acting like you care now?"

"I do care." Carter pleaded silently.

"Let go," my voice cracked slightly, "please."

Carter dropped my wrist and I felt myself slide down the bathroom wall, letting the tears fall.
