TALIA POV
My heart hammered so loudly that I was certain that Jack could see it bouncing against my chest. I snapped my head to the direction of the voice, and we whimpered when we saw Marcus standing a few feet away. He was sweaty and out of breath as though he has been running and he looked pleadingly but cautiously at me. I stepped off Jack and if I wasn’t so focused on Marcus, I would have heard him sigh in relief. I stared at Marcus as the pain from the memory of him leaving me, pierced my heart. He had a scared look on his face, but he also looked determined to stay.
“Talia. I… I am sorry.” He said and our anger flared again. Sorry? Sorry for what? Running away or sorry because he was about to reject me. the thought caused me to howl sadly and not waiting to be officially rejected
