Emma.

My legs fail me, and I collapse on the F***ing floor. I’m still in shock. Still unable to believe

that the man l loved would treat me so cruelly, all because of that bitch.

I’ve seen the ruthless side of Rowan before. It wasn’t as intense as now, but it was still

In his eyes, I saw death, and I just knew that if he could have his way, I would disappear

from this world.

I try to think about what went wrong, but nothing makes sense.

Rowan hates me and wants nothing to do with me. Calvin cut me off and he also wants

nothing to do

with me. I had both of them in the palm of my hands and now I had no one.

“What the hell were you thinking, Emma?” Travis yells at me. “I told you to stay away from

Ava and Rowan. I told you that the man was in love with Ava. That he wanted nothing to

do with you. So why the hell would you corner Ava in the F***ing washroom like that?”

His words didn’t register at all. I still couldn’t believe Rowan would hurt me. That he would

choose that bitch over me.

My heart ached. It felt like I had been shattered to pieces. Like my soul had been

destroyed. It hurt so F***ing much. I never thought that this day would come. That the day

Rowan would choose Ava over me would ever arrive.

“Emma?” Travis calls, but I just continue staring ahead.

I couldn’t stop the tears that fell down my face.

“He doesn’t love me anymore,” I whisper as things finally start sinking in. “If he did, he

wouldn’t have hurt me. He wouldn’t have chosen Ava over me.

What did she have that I didn’t? How the hell was she able to win Rowan over? He used to

“How is it possible? How can he love Ava of all people? How can he hurt me? He used to

love me, didn’t

he?” I fire the questions.

I was so confused. So conflicted about everything.

“Yes he most likely did love you, but the love you had for each other was young love. I

believe that his true and eternal love is Ava. I think he might love Ava more than he has

ever loved you. That’s why he was

hard on you.”

The words were like a dagger being driven into my chest. I gasp at the pain because I

physically.

My heart was breaking all over again. I had no way of stopping it. No way of slowing it

down or making it

better. It was like I was losing Rowan to Ava all over again. This time is worse, though,

because he

actually wants her. He loves her.

Love. The word leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. After everything I’ve been through.

Everything I’ve had

to do, and all of it for what? I still lost to Ava. Still lost what mattered to me the most.

“Emma?” Travis calls with worry lacing his voice.

“What can I do? What will I do?” I asked no one in particular.

There is nothing you can do… Do yourself a favor and let Rowan go. His heart no longer

belongs to you. If you keep holding on, then you’ll just cause yourself more heartbreak.”

That was not the answer I wanted to hear. I can’t help but wonder if he is right, though. Is

it really time to let go of Rowan? Is his love for me completely gone? Is there really nothing

left?

Why the hell did it feel like I was lost? Like I was floating through a dark abyss with

nothing to anchor me.

“And you believe her?”

“Yes,” I simply reply. “She looked apologetic.”

“I wouldn’t trust her if I were you, Emma. Christine has always been psychotic. Please stay

away from her.”

standing up and heading towards the door.

I only look up when two pairs of boots that I don’t recognize appear before me.

“Miss Emma Sharp?”

I nod my head at the police officers in confusion.

“You’re under arrest for the assault of Miss Ava Sharp.”

I just stare at them emotionlessly as they grab and handcuff me. Travis tries to stop them,

I know that Ava isn’t the one who filed a report since she was still at the hospital. So it was

Rowan. It couldn’t be anyone else.

As they roughly shove me inside the car, I can’t help but beat myself up.

I should have just stayed at home instead of agreeing to meet Christine.
