"I just- I just- I just wanted her to love me", she slumped to the floor as angry tears fell down her cheeks. "All I did...."
...was give in to her feelings. She could remember it like it happened yesterday when Mona found her doing her homework in her room. The girl was balling her eyes out saying Ian had called it quits.
She dropped her books and left her table and walked over to Mona. She pulled the girl into an embrace and Mona cried her heart out. Her reality was too bitter to face.
It seemed nothing would change Ian's mind. As for Demi, she was relieved yet angry at the same time. She rubbed soothing circles on her back as the girl cried. When she quieted down, she broke the embrace and cupped Mona's cheeks. She pulled on her sleeves to use them to wipe Mona's tears.
