“Wait! Let me explain!” Actually, I can’t explain but I need to tell him something to calm him down. I run after him as he is stomping through the suite, grabbing his key on the way out. He is almost at the door when I catch up to him and grab his arm. “It’s not what you think. Please, just let me explain.”

He turns around to face me. I freeze, my feet rooted to the ground. I have never seen him so mad. His eyebrows are drawn together, his nostrils are flaring and his mouth is twisted in something that looks like a snarl. I automatically let go of his arm and take a step back. “Don’t bother,” he growls and walks out the door.

The words are on the tip of my tongue. It was my sister. I want to yell it at him so badly, but the words are stuck in my throat. I have hidden my sister from everybody for so long, I can’t fail her now.

I slump down the wall next to the door and bury my face in my hands. I can’t believe he just left me. There is no way he will forgive me. He left me and now I am alone again. The first tear rolls down my cheek and that is the beginning of the end. The floodgates have opened and I am crying so hard that I can barely breathe. I sit here until my head feels like it’s filled with cotton. When I finally get off the floor and walk to the bathroom everything is blurry. I splash some cold water in my face and look in the mirror. My eyes are swollen and my whole face is red from crying. My hair looks like something nested in it and my clothes look like I wore them to bed. I look horrible. Just the sight of me like that makes me want to cry again but I don’t think I have any more tears left in me.

I get a bottle of water from the fridge. I don’t realize how thirsty I am until I take the first sip and the cool liquid soothes my dry throat. I finish the bottle and feel slightly better. My first coherent thought hits me. What am I going to do now without Hunter? I have no car, no money, no clothes and I don’t even know if the hotel is paid for yet. Oh god, I turned into my mom. The very thing I fought so hard against all my life has happened. I let it happen. I let Hunter take care of me and now that he left, I am helpless and alone. I am so stupid for letting it get so far. I should have stayed away. Screw Hunter and his good looks. Drawing me in with all his sweetness and cuteness. Making me laugh and keeping me safe. A loud sob escapes my throat and I am on the verge of crying again.
