Chapter Six

Gwen

"Jessa, what are you doing back so ear…" I trail off as soon as I step out of my room and see Cyrus standing in the living room instead of his sister. His face is scruffy, and he has shadows around his eyes like he didn't sleep any more than I did last night. Somehow, he found the time to change out of his suit into a pair of sweats and an Air Force t-shirt though. It's not fair that he can look devasted and devastatingly handsome at the same exact time.

"Princess," he says, his blue eyes roving over me in meticulous examination.

I tug the edges of my old robe closed over my Mighty Mouse pajamas, wishing I'd actually gotten out of the bed two hours ago when I woke up. But I didn't have the energy to do it. Truth be told, I kind of planned to stay in there until I have to go back to work on Monday.

"I'm too tired to fight with you right now," I say, taking a step backward when he moves closer.

"I didn't come here to fight with you. I need you to pack a bag and come with me."

I stare at him for a minute, trying to figure out if he's completely lost his mind. I'm pretty sure he has. "I'm not moving in with you, Cyrus. We discussed this last night."

"No, we didn't. You got out about six years' worth of heartache. And I let you because I know it's been a long time coming, Gwen. I've been breaking your heart since the day I met you," he says, taking another step closer. "I've said and done all the wrong things and convinced myself it was in your best interest. I was wrong, and I was an asshole. But you said what you had to say last night. Now I'm asking you…I'm begging you to let me say what I need to say."

Those blue eyes are so earnest, so somber.

"Fine, say it," I say, crossing my arms to keep my robe closed over my chest. As if that'll give me the strength to resist him. It won't. Now that I've cried myself out, I just feel…broken. How am I supposed to leave him behind when every dream I've had about the future for years have included him? I've been asking myself the same question all night long and I still don't have an answer.

He's supposed to be with me. In my dreams, that's how it works. He's the one at my side for everything. That's the future I want, the one that includes him. Without him, the rest just seems empty. If following my dreams means leaving him behind, I don't want to do it. I've tried all night to tell myself that I don't have a choice, but I just keep coming back to the fact that it's not supposed to go that way.

I want to be his. I want to go back to yesterday, when we were in that hotel room, and I felt like my life finally made sense.
