Anning's pov
I couldn't even recognize my own voice. I let out a small chuckle and this time, it hurt.
"You idiot." I whispered to myself, slowly lowering myself till I was crouching down on the floor. "You absolute idiot."
I had actually lied to myself for days! I had actually believed us staying apart for those months would be enough.
I mean, I was yet to say the words I love you to her. How could I be feeling this way?
I had believed I was stronger than this.
But hearing that she was getting married had shattered something I didn't even realize I had been protecting.
I pressed the heels of my palms against my eyes. Tears rolled down my cheeks without stopping as I whispered to myself.
"I don't even like women."
A sob escaped my lips anyway, making me bite down hard on my lower lip.
As seconds went by, the sobs grew harder to suppress. My silver hair slipped forward, covering the sides of my face as my shoulders trembled.
