Jealous||Rye Beaumont

5

I can't sleep.

Rye is the only thing on my mind right now.

I can't leave this town...but I want to.

"Ughh. Why does everything have to be so complicated?" I groaned.

Olivia heard me and ran into the room.

"What's up bub?"
"I can't sleep."

She turned on the lamp on the desk and sat down at the edge of the bed.

"Why?"
"Rye."

"What happened at Harvs' place?"
"Rye came."

"What did he say?"
"Well, he told me he needed me and stuff like that."

"Are you going to forgive him?"
I shook my head.

"So you're going to ignore him?"
"I-I don't know. I need him, Liv...but I'm hurt."

"You need to talk to him and fix this, Em. If not, you're going to have many sleepless nights."
I nodded.

"Yeah, you're right. But I can't talk to him."
"Why not?"

"I'm scared."
"Of what?"

"Of him yelling at me...or him cheating again."
"Do you trust him?"
I stayed quiet.

"Emma, if you truly love him, you would trust him."
"Do I not love him then?" I asked, scared for the answer.
