Chapter 55

I knew it! He didn’t have the courage to tell me the first time.

“Sure I am,” I challenge him again, lifting my chin a little.

“I see the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. And a…an amazing face.”

My mouth opens in surprise and I can’t help but stare at him, wide-eyed. I was sure he was going to say something about my face, but not how much he liked it! There’s an enormous scar disfiguring it, and this guy still thinks I’m beautiful?

“You’re sick, my friend,” I whisper.

Immediately I see pain flash across his eyes, which makes me wish I could take back what I said.

“Yeah, maybe. See you, Ryan,” Sean replies harshly before standing up. He leaves money to pay for both the drinks and exits the bar, heading back to his tattoo parlor.

I sigh, feeling guilty, because the guy was only trying to be nice and, lately, he’s been the one person I like to be around the most.

Idiot!5
