Kapitel 32: Chapter 32: Emotional Turmoil

*Declan*

I sat alone in my dimly lit apartment, cradling a glass of whiskey, my mind consumed by the thoughts of Leah Garcia. She had taken control of my mind, body and soul. There was nothing I could do about it. I had no choice but to let her fire consume me, and now I’d gotten burned.

Even though she had walked all over my heart repeatedly, if she walked through my door right now, I would be at her feet again. I took a bitter sip of my drink, trying to distract myself with alcohol. My ‘relationship’ with Leah definitely didn’t go how I wanted it to.

I was tired of her constant games, lies and inability to trust me enough to tell me whatever it was that was bothering her. I poured my heart out to her on numerous occasions, bared my soul, and yet she still remained elusive. For as hard as I tried, I couldn’t get a solid hold of her.

But she had managed to get a solid hold of my heart. So solid that it hurt whenever she pulled away from me.
