Chapter 60: Breaking The Illusion

Tallulah and Cameron will want details, but I am not ready to share this.

It is too deep. Too broken.

I am wrecked in a whirl of explosive thoughts and feelings that so far, I've managed to avoid. Until now. Until I let Landon Peters into my life. Until I'd relinquished control.

I am convinced it is over.

Even if it isn't over, even if he thinks he can come back from this, I don't think I can.

I've never let anyone this close before. I've never let anyone hurt me before. I've never felt so weak. I wipe the tears that have gathered at my eyes, and I straighten my back. I've just had break up sex, and it has nearly destroyed me.

No one will be able to tell, I promise myself. I won't let them see my weakness.

I take a deep breath and quietly let myself in, going straight to my room. I can hear three voices in the lounge. Cam has a girl over. Undressing, I get straight into bed and curl into a ball.
