013– Stay... A Little Longer

[~CORAL~]

“Raegan…” I rasp out, my heart waging a war inside me. “I would never hate you or Damian or Rune… never.”

Raegan’s gaze widens at my words, “But… you said—”

“I know what I said… but I was angry… and I said things,” my gaze waver before holding his icy blue smothering orbs again. “But I don’t hate you.”

A sea of relief floods his orbs. “Then… do you forgive me?” His voice still held uncertainty.

“Raegan… I… I don’t know…” I mutter, tearing my gaze away from his. “It’s just…”

A part of my heart shifted at the wounded look in his eyes but I couldn’t bring myself to say the words.

Growing up, Raegan, Damian and Rune has always been my biggest mountains. They were who I wanted to be like when I grow up; strong, brave, powerful and confident. A protector as they were my protectors but the secret they’d kept caused an enormous rift in my heart and left me in a sea of hurt and confusion.
