Chapter 26

"Are you sure?" Rye asked and I nodded. I quickly pulled him in for a kiss. It was slow and passionate, and loving.

Once we pulled apart I rested the side of my face on Rye's chest, so I was facing the wall. Rye, once again, began to run his fingers through my hair.

I took a deep breath.

"...It was a dark room made of glass. I could see you inside it. You were curled into a little ball. You were screaming... for me. You were in pain. Something was hurting you. I could see the tears rolling down your face. I couldn't do anything. It was like I was paralysed. Nothing would move. I couldn't speak either. I couldn't do anything except sit there, watching you. I hated it. Knowing that I couldn't save you. You thought I would never come. You thought I left you. I felt useless and weak. You were looking around, desperate for someone to come snd help you. There was nothing I could do..." My voice cracked.
"All I wanted was to save you." A tear fell down my face. Rye stayed silent.

"Andy I need to tell you something." Rye whispered. I frowned and sniffed, sitting up.

"What is it?" I asker softly. A tear rolled down his face.

"Baby don't cr-"

"I'm cheating on you."
