Chapter 275: Don’t Make Me Choose
"Emma come on baby, open the door"
Dace’s voice came in for the third time, but I said nothing... still curled up at the edge of the bed, my knees to my chest. Apparently, I slammed the door in Dace’s face after Emilia left, saying I wanted to be alone and he respected that, but in less than one minute he was knocking and calling for me but I kept silent, mostly because I was hurt and didn’t know what to say.
Emilia’s words still struck me hard, I did as I thought was right, keeping a secret for a friend but it turned out to be the worst thing ever, Emilia thought I betrayed her because I kept it from her, and now my brain was so messed up, she said it’s all my fault. Maybe it is? She was convinced that if I told her earlier about it she wouldn’t have approached Grayson that way, maybe it really was my fault.
I sniffed pulling my knees closer to my chest, squeezing my eyes shut, and exhaled sharply before opening my eyes and rising to my feet, straight to the wardrobe as I searched for what to wear, I pulled out a jeans shirt, and a baggy coat which was probably Dace and I quickly put them on before walking back to the door and opening it.
"You know I would have taken this door down," Dace said the moment he set his eyes on me but they softened when he looked closer. "You were crying" he spoke about reaching for me but I quickly spoke.
"I wanna go home"
He paused.
"Now... please"
"Are you sure you’re ready for that"
"Apparently I’m not ready for anything!" I said louder than I expected. "All I do is make things worst Dace, your life, Emilia’s relationship with Grayson’’
"Who said you make my life worse? And how the fuck is it your fault?"
