Chapter Two

How do you know when you've stopped caring about someone? Is there a sign, a clear message, a banner that pops up to tell you that it's all gone?

Everything you've ever felt, every emotion that ever suffocated your mind and consumed your heart-

How are you supposed to know when you have finally moved on from something, or someone in this case, and all the feelings you once harbored for them have been resolved and you know that no matter what happens, you'll be able to be okay?

People often confuse hatred as moving on. They say that when you don't care about someone anymore, you'll just hate them and get over it.

That's a lie.

Hatred proves that you're still angry and hurt, and by no means have any true intention of moving on any time soon.

Indifference is an emotion hard, if not impossible, to obtain. It's the lack of interest, concern, or sympathy; an emotion I often feigned.

I guess I had faked it so much that I wasn't sure what was real or not anymore. So now, now I was left with the question: did I still care for Sebastian? Or had I finally conquered the well-known obstacle as indifference?

They say that when you lose one sense, your other senses are heightened.

Right now, I was engulfed by silence. I could feel my heart pounding and my blood rushing, and I could see his lips moving as words spilled out of his mouth.

But I couldn't hear a thing. I could only sit there, slumped on the ground as Sebastian crouched by my defenseless body. I found myself hyperaware of the obvious changes that had taken place since I was away.

Sebastian's hair was longer, and more untamed than I had remembered. His dark look had gotten darker, and there was something different in his eyes. He was wearing a tight black shirt, and I instantly noticed how his muscles bulged underneath the shirt.

He had definitely been working out, and the idea of that sent fear shaking through my body.

Was it wrong to only be able to think of pain when I saw him; to only be able to think of the pain he would surely inflict upon me?

I found myself flinching away as his hand latched onto my upper arm, and I was yanked to my feet.

"Have you not been fucking listening to me this entire time?" He snarled, his eyes growing darker at the thought of me ignoring him. I gulped slightly, my eyes flitting over to Kate, who was still being pinned to the wall by Mason.

I felt my heart rate increase as I struggled to form a good enough answer for Sebastian.

"Why are you here?" My voice was scratchy and weak, making me wince and shrink back.

While Sebastian had clearly gotten stronger, I was noticeably smaller and weaker than I had been before. I wasn't confident anymore, and I sure as hell couldn't bait a guy even if my life depended on it.

Time had taken it's toll on me, and it hadn't been for the better.

Sebastian's jaw clenched and he narrowed his eyes at me. "Are you so full of yourself that you couldn't even listen to me?"
