My ears were still ringing from the powerful slam against the wall as my door was slammed open.
"I'm sure your mom already told you." My voice was low, the words barely wanting to escape my lips. The weight of the blanket kept me warm and stuck in the middle of the bed.
My heart picked up a few extra beats as his thundering steps came to stand in front of me.
"So at every little sigh of bad news, you're going to give up?" I felt harsh hands grip my chin and force my head up.
I had a sudden lump in my throat when I saw the anger in his large eyes. "You're pathetic."
Pathetic.
His eyes seemed to glow as if the flood gates finally released and he let the truth out.
"I bet you wished I never found you!" He laughed in vain, "Well, it would've been easier for everyone if you'd died before I got there."
His words echoed on and on inside my head.
The grip on my chin loosened when he saw the tears form in my eyes. If I was stupid, I would've maybe considered that he regretted it.
But he never took it back.
Because it's true.
I swallowed the shame and my nose flared as I hid the tears into anger.
"I'm sorry not all of this ended in happy rainbows and roses for you," I gathered all of my strength and shoved him away from me before forcibly marching and opening my bedroom door.
"Wait, Lily-"
"Go! No one is stopping you. Go take the internship and live your life however you want. Don't let me hold you back anymore." I sniffed hard and gripped the doorframe for support.
I saw him clench his fists before he flew down the stairs.
"If you wish a little harder, maybe you can get your wish sooner than five years!"
