Chapter Twenty-two - My World Is Crumbling Down

B E L L A

Gasps are heard all around the room at Emma's words. I feel myself becoming light headed, like I'm about to faint.

Daniel was speechless and he looked confused. Everything was happening at an irregular fast pace. My world is coming crashing down. I don't believe for a second that Emma is lying because what would she gain. She's my sister and she wouldn't risk my happiness like this.

"I didn't." He said defensively before turning to Emma. "You know I didn't do this."

"Daniel, how could you?" I spat out in disgust. As much as I want to believe that's it's not true, I don't know if I can do that. He, of all people, should know how important family is to me.

"I didn't. You have to believe me." He begged. Turning around, I sprinted down the passage. I can't bare to be in the same room with Daniel - the man that I love.

I can't believe that I was so dumb. He's always wanted to hurt me since highschool. I shouldn't have believed that he changed for a second.

My heart feels like it has been shattered to a million pieces. It's beyond repair and nothing I do or say can fix this mess.

I barged through the house door, running up to my room. Upon all of the feelings that I have - sadness and anger - the one that hurts the most is the betrayal.

I trusted Daniel. He proved that he would always he here for me so this news is hard to stomach. I lock my room door, falling flat onto my bed cuddling into my uniform pillow.

My eyes sting from the tears and my throat aches. My body remains frozen in the bed as I close my eyes to control my sobbing. My chest heaves and my body limp. Nothing can save me from the darkness I'm seeing.

My phone starts to ring, making me open my eyes. I search around for it, pulling the covers and throwing them around. Finding it, I look at the caller ID.

"Hello." My voice comes out coarse and rough. I sniffle, rubbing my nose with my hand.

"Bell, open the door. I'm outside." Seb spoke into the phone and I immediately cut the call and went down.

Unlocking the front door, I pushed it open and was wrapped in Seb's arms before I could even comprehend what happened.

He looked at me with sadness and guilt. I don't know why I can see guilt in his eyes.

Sitting down on the couch, I bring my knees up and hug them to my chest. The fetus position is really bringing me comfort now.

"I wanted to check up on you. After you stormed out, Daniel left." His name makes my heart hurt. Nothing can change the fact that I love him. I love him as much as I hate him. Such strong feelings can't just go away. I need time.

"I'm okay. As-" A loud knocking on the door stopped me mid sentence. I was about to wake up when Seb stopped me and answered the door.

"What do you want?" I heard Seb spit angrily. I assume that it must be Daniel.

"I just want to talk." I swallowed thickly and walked into the kitchen. His eyes were red and his hair was disheveled. He looked like a mess. I almost felt bad for him.
