Chapter 65: Just Hurting

After Emily left, I stood at the doorway frozen. I didn't know what to think, and my mind couldn't wrap around what just happened. The kiss still lingered on my lips as the pain in my chest was spreading as I started to feel a sense of rejection. Along with these feelings, I couldn't help but think that I was stupid.

Of course, she would leave. She has a boyfriend, and I overstepped. I had no intention of hurting her and disregarding her relationship, but I couldn't help myself. I clenched my fist, fighting the urge to go after her. I couldn't do that because what would I say?

I'm sorry?

I didn't mean to?

What I did was wrong?
