Enzo

This is more like it. This is where I feel at home. The gym. I may not be able to do my usual workout with this damn cast still on my leg, but lifting these weights feels fucking amazing.

I've been pumping iron for the past two hours, arms, shoulders, back, stomach, legs. Whoever said you can't lift weights with a cast on your ankle wants shooting.

All right, maybe waiting a few weeks for the rest of me to heal helped, but I've needed this, this is helping me clear my damn head right now.

“You're a crazy motherfucker,” I smirk at Freddy while placing the weight bar back on the stand. “You shouldn't even be walking around on that damn ankle, let alone...”

“Give it a rest, Fred, I've got a busted ankle, there's nothing wrong with the rest of me.”

With a shrug of his broad shoulders, he throws his sweat-soaked towel down on the opposite bench and drops down on his ass. “Bringing a date to the wedding?”

The wedding. His father. Paige's mother. I'm not taking a date. There's no one I want to go with. Okay, there's someone. But I can't go to the Estella wedding as Paige's date, Freddy would kill me. Or try, at least.

What if Paige brings a date?

She wouldn't do that, not after I made it clear I don't want her with that doctor prick. She may have defied me and gone on a date with him, but I showed her who the fucking real man is.

Real man? Real men don't lead the woman who's in love with them on. Real men don't tell the woman who loves them to move on, then fuck her in all sorts of ways, in all sorts of places. Real men don't confuse the woman who loves them so much she doesn't know which way is up.

Be that as it may... God, when am I just gonna admit what she means to me? When am I gonna man up and claim that girl? She's mine, always has been. But there's something stopping me.

“Nah, there's no one I wanna go with.”

“When are you going to put behind you what happened with Autumn? You don't have to be a damn martyr, Enzo. You're allowed to live.”

I shoot daggers at him. What the hell does this have to do with what happened in the past? “Do not bring her up again, Freddy. I've put it to rest. I've moved on.”

“Have you, though?”

I have. Haven't I?

Am I pushing Paige away because I haven't let go of what happened with Autumn? The thought that that could be true tears me up inside. I'm hurting the only girl I have ever loved because I can't get past what happened.

Yeah, I love her. I love Paige Monroe. But what good does it do me when I can't be the man she needs me to be? How can I be the man anybody needs? I'm a fucking monster, Autumn realized that too late. I couldn't've been more of a bastard to that girl if I could've tried.
