the unforgivable

You know it the moment you meet them-
that magnetic pull,
that terrifying, beautiful ache in your chest.

But what happens when he doesn't feel it the same way?
Or worse... when he does-but runs anyway?
When he's too lost in his own darkness to choose you?
What do you do when you fall for the boy with a haunted past...
the boy who happens to be your best friend's walking-red-flag brother?

"I'm not your secret, Kade."
My voice cracked like glass.
"You touch me like I'm yours-but the moment someone looks, you vanish.
I'm done with the games.
Grow the hell up... and decide what the hell you want."

Silence.
Then regret poured from my mouth like poison.
"I shouldn't have said that," I muttered, eyes burning.
But he just shook his head, calm and ruined.
"No... you were right, Ella."

Then he walked away.
And for the first time, he used my real name.
Not "El." Not "you."
Just Ella.

And somehow, that broke me more than anything else ever could.
