Chapter 26

I even get excited about the idea, but I don't make it that obvious. The problem is that I don't trust him anymore, he might mess up again, as he has already done. So I say:

''I just think, you'd better stay out of this Yan, please.''

He still looks at me confused. Did he think that coming here to promise me all this would change my mind and make me like him again? He's quite wrong about that.

Well, if he did, he thought wrong.

He takes another deep breath. He takes a few steps back and turns around, looks at me, and says:

''Is that what you want? Do you want me to stay away from you?''

I wipe my eyes for a moment. I'm not up for a scene today.

Then I just shake my head in the affirmative. He looks sad to me now.

He goes toward the stairs, I don't even look and close the door. The problem is that as soon as he leaves I burst into tears. Seeing him just makes me remember everything that happened and I feel horrible again.
