Kapitel 28: Chapter 28

"What did you just say?" Calvin breathes out, his eyes full of confusion and conflict. I can see him battling with himself, his decision almost unbearable for him to handle. I reach up hastily and wipe away a fallen tear.

"Don't make me repeat myself." I say quietly, my eyes falling to the floor. I can't believe I've admitted my deep feelings to him, my lips feel alien to spilling such raw truth.

"Why should I believe you? You've been lying to me this whole time Hunter!" Calvin protests desperately, his eyebrows creased together in desperation.

"It's the truth, put the gun down." I tell him, my voice low. I look up at him from under my lashes, struggling to hold eye contact when I know I'm the reason for the pain held inside them. Calvin lets out a frustrated yell, his face crumpling up with mixed emotions.
