I couldn’t look at Hector for another second longer. I couldn’t let him see me fall apart completely.By the time I made it out of the convention center, I was running, the tears falling freely down my face. I blinked them back, trying not to let them escape, quickly wiping away the ones that did. It was stupid to cry over what he’d said. Over our two nights together. Over the future we would never have.I didn’t know what to do or where to go. Everything inside me hurt, like Hector had taken a scalpel to my heart and sliced out every piece that belonged to him. I’d made my decision, had been all ready to commit to a future with him, and then he’d crushed that dream into dust only seconds later. My entire life had been thrown into a tailspin and I wasn’t sure how I could ever recover.He’d said it meant nothing to him, but I didn’t believe it. He’d said we could go back to being friends, but we both knew that wasn’t going to happen. He’d said he wanted to sleep around, but that didn’t sound like the Hector I knew.
