_Lisa's POV_
My feet carried me quickly down the hallway, but my heart moved slower. It thudded in my chest like it was caught between choices, like it didn’t know where to go. I had just seen Rylan.
I had looked into his eyes, the eyes of the man I once loved. The man who held my heart so tightly, then let it fall like it meant nothing. He stood there, pleading, full of pain. And I stood there too. Not as the girl who used to cry for him, but as the girl who no longer knew who to trust.
My breaths were shallow and short. Each step I took away from him felt heavier than the last.
"You did the right thing," Sierra said softly in my mind.
"Then why does it hurt so much?" I whispered back.
"Because love always hurts. Especially when it breaks."
Katherine caught up with me just outside
