516-Kiss Or Slap?

Helanie:

"Helanie, please open the door," he had been calling out for me while I cried in the bathroom.

Ever since he told me I would lose, I had locked myself in—but not before I cried loudly in front of him. I don't do that in front of anyone.

But I don't know why I get so comfortable with him. Or maybe… I love showing him that he's the reason I'm so hurt.

But a person would only do that when they know the person they're crying in front of would care.

Did I, deep down, know Norman cared?

I mean—more than what he showed?

"Helanie, I just meant—look—"

He shut up when I opened the door and faced him. He instantly stepped back, fixing his white shirt.

"What? What do I need to look at? Show me," I said with my whole chest, challenging him—and as I kept moving forward, he kept stepping back from me with a weird look on his face.
