Two days had passed since I'd confessed my love to Caelan and he'd rejected me. I hadn't left my bed since then. My parents brought in food and checked up on me multiple times since then. They'd begged me to come outside with them but I kept refusing each time. Even my brother had tried to get me to leave my room but I'd also turned him down. I kept telling myself that I needed to get up and fight but I didn't feel any strength to do so.
I understood that this was heartbreak and I would need some time to heal but it didn't feel like I would ever be able to move on from this pain. Nothing had ever hurt as much as this did right now. I didn't understand how Caelan could act like he cared about me but push me away whenever I wanted him to open up to me.
Why couldn't he just give what we ha
