"You can't keep pretending like last night didn't happen, Ashlyn. We need to talk about it sooner than later." Phoenix pleads with me. 

My head hurts from already thinking to much into all of this. I'm just a pawn to him.

He's using me.

He grabs my wrist, "I feel like I'm losing my damn mind here!"

I turn around to look him right in the eyes. My eyes start to burn so I shut them and open them, letting the tears fall down my face.

"I think I'm falling in love with you." I whisper loud enough for him to hear.
