"You can't keep what you've been through to yourself," he admits.
"It's haunting you darling, I can see it," I rest my head on his side and he begins to brush my hair off of my forehead.
"I don't want it to haunt anyone else," I whisper, speaking the thoughts I've been thinking since the wreck.
"Have you considered what others think? Maybe we don't want it to hauntyou.I know I don't. Aaron doesn't, youknowhe doesn't. I'm sure your parents don't either," he says.
Myparentsmake sure it haunts me. My father reminds me that I killed my brother every chance he gets.
"You and Aaron shouldn't hear it," I tell him.
I only want their perspective of my brother to stay happy. I want their thoughts of him to remain as perfect as he was.
"You're too sweet," he places a kiss on my head before returning to his duties.
"How about that guy that was here? You two seemed quite close," he changed the subject and my mood takes a turn.
"I for one saw how he couldn't take his eyes off you," he nudges my shoulder
He was probably thinking of how annoying I am.
"I don't think he'll be around anymore," I sigh and Mr. Terrip's eyebrows furrow.
"Well I thought you two were friends?"
"I'm incapable of making friends," I bite my cheek.
"I think I'm done," I tell him.
"What happened? You two seemed fine. Especially when he was carrying you out of here," his tone turns playful causing a small smile to appear on my lips.
It was a mistake.
It shouldn't've happened.
"Our personalities didn't fit," I stand from my chair.
"I'm going to go find any out-of-place books," I turn away from him so we won't see my watery eyes.
I let my focus turn to books and before I know it, my mind has fully slipped away.
Maybe it's better that Grey and I don't know each other.
We're complete opposites.
Plus, he's not exactly the kindest person I've met.
But why do I feel so drawn to him?
