章 443: Headlines

''Let's go inside. '' Xavier said, as he walked to hold her hand, but Melissa moved away from him, so he would not touch her. 

''No need to go inside, say what you what to say here,'' she said, her voice almost breaking.

Xavier lowered his head, not knowing how to say the words he had prepared to say. 

''I'm sorry. '' 

Those were the only words that could leave his lips. And when Melissa heard him, she broke down. Although she had imagined how that day would be, she didn't think it would be this painful. How would he raise her hopes so high only to crash it to thousand pieces?

''I hate you so much!'' She said, all this while not turning to look at him. 

''I'm really sorry, Mel. '' Xavier said again. 

Melissa did not waste another moment outside with him. She dashed into her house and shut the door. 

Xavier stood there for over ten minutes before getting into his car and driving out.
