Chapter 24 : One to Save Me

Eleonore’s POV

There was no greater irony than being hurt by your own hypocrisy.

And realizing it only after the fact when your face was buried in a pillow, having just finished coming down from an emotionally charged moment you backed out of, that would’ve ended in tears if you stayed.

Which was probably still going to end in tears at some point, which I very much did not need at the moment. That’s why I left, though, to calm down and think about this rationally without getting angry at them.

I was not doing too hot, though, that might’ve been the blood loss talking. After finally answering Charlie’s flurry of worried texts and her bullying me into letting her come over with some electrolytes, I laid in bed and just sort of existed.

This sucked…it was absolute b-bullshit!
