Tied Up and Over It    

[EVE]

 

The Cole I knew would never cast me aside like I was nothing. He wouldn't have let me go so easily. He wouldn't have—

 

I exhaled sharply, pressing my fingers against my temples. Stop it.

 

It didn't matter anymore.

 

Because whether I believed it or not, the fact remained—he was gone. And I was still here, clinging to memories that I didn't know what to do.

 

I had barely survived losing him the first time.

 

The second nearly destroyed me.

 

A third?

 

I wasn't sure I'd make it through.

 

I refused to let myself be that foolish again. I refused to let the same man break me thrice.

 

One time was supposed to be enough. The second time, it was my fault. But there would never be a third time.

 

It was time to let go.

 

It was time to move on.
