She didn’t shirk froaze the entire ti, "Tate lied to you"

I sat there for a second I heard her say those words For one split second, I wondered what she was talking about, but it clicked Surging to ain, she didn’t cower frohed about it, said it could actually be true, but she doubted it She was going to try anyway"

Oh od

Tate had lied Tate had lied Those words were repeating inat me I couldn’t stand still so I started to pace As I did, she kept going, "Logan doesn’t love you like that Well, heabout it, that was a lie She said that was her graduation gift to me"

This had to be a joke It had to be

"Tate kno I feel about Mason She’s always known It’s why she bullied me in the first place, but she said she wanted to ot into Cain University, and that I was excited I didn’t go to Cain U on purpose, because of Mason I applied to a lot of schools, but when I got in, intrue I always thought Mason was going to be er going to be that invisible girl that I had always been" She broke off and looked away When she started again, the pain that caone throughto eat you up inside She told me that you wouldn’t tell the them, so it would send you into a tailspin where you’d destroy yourself"

Each word she said was a blow to ht I’d been manipulated and the end result was just pain, all around pain All because of one lie

"I didn’t ask her to do that, but I didn’t stop her either I’ when I was standing in the rain, professing my love to Mason, and all he seerand idea in my head that it would work I would proclaim my love We would have this fairytale scene, and he’d tell me he felt the sa about you or what I was doing to Mason and his relationship with you I was just thinking about ain, it was barely a whisper "I just wanted to be loved"

"No" I cursed, shakingit sound like you were nothing and he was going to make you someone If you just wanted to be loved, you would’ve been loved You’re pretty, you uys who have liked you You wanted Mason You allowed Tate to lie to me, to uy Be honest about that"

God, I couldn’t believe I was still listening to this She was confessing, but it wasn’t to led sounding laugh ripped froht’ve said the words, but you let her You didn’t say anything to stop this You’re just as guilty as she is"

The tears started They began falling down her face and as I kept talking, they beca about her screamed victim And she’d been hit by a truck She was a victim, but what she did wasn’t okay

I couldn’t stay there I needed to leave, but there was one other thing "That night, were you going to sneak into his bed?"

Her shoulders were shaking fro At my question, she stiffened and paused; a small whimper left her mouth as she nodded She couldn’t talk

I heard all I needed to hear Heading to the door, I thought of another question Pausing, my hand on the handle, I asked, "Did you ht?"

A second slow nod, like she still didn’t want to confess to that part

"You pretended to be drunk?"

A third nod, even slower and just the bare ht I knew my knuckles were probably white "Were you there with friends? If Mason had found who you ith, what then? The whole lie would’ve been pointless"

She looked back down, but I heard her say, "I told them not to answer their phones They knew My phone was stuffed into try and seduce him I felt sick,to be sick I hurried out of there and sprinted to a bathrooan Saes out ofup, tucking soh the lobby s, even though Nate tried to blockthem Fuck that He didn’t try to block me He tried to stall me The two of them looked so intimate out there They had looked like a couple, and it stuck a dagger in ain, but worse Even though Marissa told me the truth, all about the lie Tate had said to Sam, I was furious when she touched hirab her, take her somewhere, and remind her that she was mine It was the animalistic side of me, but I couldn’t do that The other side, the one always in control, keptthat It told me to remain caloogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7451196230453695" data-ad-slot="9930101810" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true">
