Chapter 47

We left, and I heard Austin's heartbreaking cry, which broke my heart, but I firmly proceeded.

(Austin's perspective)

I'm Austin, and I'm a guy that adores Acacia.

I was first envious of Gavin's ability to let her stare with soft eyes. I made the mistake of thinking she was with me just to thank me for saving my life, and I tried to excite her in the most ineffective way possible. I pushed her away from me. I eventually found her, but she was near Gavin. I tried to get her to leave, but she refused.

I'm devastated. I would have told her plainly if I hadn't been so harsh at the start. Perhaps this isn't the case right now.

Without her, what is the meaning of the world? I jumped into the water. I thought I'd finally be able to forget about the anguish of losing her in the raging tide, but I was saved. Everything appeared to have lost its energy, and life had become so routine. My girl was in the arms of other men that day, and she was so happy.
