just stared at me, silent.
My heart was pounding like | was waiting for the verdict on shuge screw-up.
Finally, after what felt like forever, he moved. He took my hand and said, "Keira, let go."
And just like that, my heart dropped straight through the floor.
Humiliation flooded over me, hot and stinging. I'd swallowed every last bit of my pride to try to fix things, and
still... nothing.
He'd made up his mind.
He loved me, but he wouldn't be with me.
That stubborn jerk.
Anger and frustration boiled over, and before | knew it, | sank-my teeth into his shoulder. Hard.
He let out a grunt, but he didn't pushaway-just stood there and letdo it.
And the more | bit, the angrier | got. Part ofwanted to snap him out of whatever trance he was in, to make

Hayden lingered at the edge of my bed, then turned and walked out.
The second the door clicked shut, everything I'd been holding in exploded. | grabbed my pillow, buried my face
in it, and cried until my whole body ached.
By the tLena showed up, I'd been lying in bed all day, completely numb, like all the life had drained out
of me.
Not even Jace's betrayal had hitlike this.
Lena walked in, throwingher classic deadpan look. "I heard you lost a lot of blood, but apparently, you lost
your soul too."
| blinked up at her, my voice barely there. "Why are you here? Is your suspension finally over?"
"If I didn't come, you'd probably rot here, and I'd end up on corpse duty," she replied, each word a jab.
| grabbed her hand. "Can you not add salt to the wound?"

"Is your suspension over?" | asked, still feeling miserable but trying to keep my focus on her.
| couldn't forget-it was partly my fault she got suspended in the first place.
"Yeah, but I'm taking more toff," Lena said, casually dropping that bomb.
