Page 92 of Madden

I don’t even know what to say to her right now.

All I do know is I can’t be here with her. I can’t face her and try to pretend my heart isn’t crushed into a million pieces thinking about her betraying me too.

The guys were right. I shouldn’t have opened myself up, I shouldn’t have gotten close to her.

How could I let myself fall for someone who only came into my life to use me?

“Madden, everything okay?” Kyla says, when she answers my call.

“No, it’s not,” I mutter low. “I need you to get over here as quick as you can. Please.”

“Shit,” she exhales. “Yeah, of course. You got it. I’ll leave here in a minute and be right there.”

“Thank you,” I whisper.

“Madden, are you okay?” she asks. She knows I’ve been on edge with everything going on. “Brielle?”

“Physically, yes.”

“Okay, I’ll be there in a minute.”

I sag in defeat. Betrayal hits hard no matter who it is, but the pain when it’s someone you love hurts on a whole other level.

I don’t know if I have it in me to look at her to even say goodbye.
