"You seem to enjoy putting on a hero's act, don't you?"He stepped closer and subconsciously, I took one back, stumbling on my own two feets, "I will show you what it means to mess with Niall." His jaw clenched, as if remembering the effect of the slap I landed on his face weeks ago. My head throbs but I try to stand still and look around for someone who can be of help. My eyes wandered in the vast garden, looking for the familiar faces of m

The weight of her hurt bore down on me, and I met her eyes, searching for a trace of forgiveness that seemed elusive."You hurt me," she whispered, her voice a fragile echo in the quiet room. "Your words cut deep."I remained silent, the gravity of her accusation etching lines of unease on my face.
