Chapter 204: Shattered Reality, Part 2

Hanging my head, I picked at my cuticles. "Yes," I admitted, my shoulders slumping forward. "Not the same way I love you, though. Not even close."

But when I lifted my head, he was gone, the bedroom door wide open.

Stifling a sob, I slapped my hand over my mouth. My heart shattered into millions of pieces, and I clutched my chest, but nothing would stop the pain that sliced through me. A second later, Whitney was by my side, her arm around my shoulders.

I turned into her and sobbed. "He left," I cried.

"I know." She stroked my hair. "He needs time, but he'll come back."

She let me cry until I was positive I didn't have any tears left. Trent lived here, so of course he'd come back eventually, but I highly doubted he'd come back to me.

There was no forgiving what I'd done. I'd kissed his brother, let him feed on me, fallen in love with him, and then I'd kept what was happening a secret. I couldn't even forgive myself. How would Trent ever be able to?
