(Arata)
It turned out to be the most torturous night of my life but I refused to cry anymore. Not for a person who wouldn't love me back; maybe he was incapable of loving someone, and I mistook his deception as something deep he felt for me.
Men are renowned for faking their feelings to get what they want and that's how Karsten operated. It was my fault that I took it to a whole new level.
To be petty I decided to reach out to Azul but my hands shook. Not when I was this vulnerable, I had to stand on my feet without a man's help.
For the time being, I decided to be on my own. Somehow I crawled into bed. Caysir called asking me if I was ready to go but I refused.
"I will go tomorrow, Caysir. Will let you know when ready." I ended the call after that and tossed the phone aside.
Had the bed been lined with thorns? My body ached as I got a few hours of extremely disturbed sleep. Every time I woke up, I would be panting or covered in my own sweat.
