Perrie said as soon as Chloe was gone. “And I don’t know who I’m saying that for, me or her.”“What did I do?” I asked, keeping my voice as even as possible. I was pretty sure whatever heart I possessed, had just broken at the hurt and betrayal I saw in Chloe’s eyes.I just had to keep it together a while longer, just until I was alone. Then I would drop the mask and try to absorb this new emptiness inside my chest - try to get used to it. Because I had a feeling that I’d just broken Chloe’s heart, and she would never want to be with me again.Which is good, I tried to remind myself. It might hurt now, but it would have just gotten worse if I’d continued to fall for her and then lost her somehow.Would it have? An inner voice whispered.I didn’t know. Because right now, it hurt real fucking bad. It fucking killed.“Did you not just see that girl’s face, or are you really as big of an ass as you’re pretending to be right now?”I clenched my fists. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”She let out a harsh, humorless laugh.
