章節 22: Betrayal And boundaries

Jake went to get some drinks in-between games so I took my opportunity to speak to Liam; he hadn't even looked in my direction since the whole Mark incident. "Hey," I said, moving to sit next to him.

"Hey," he muttered, watching the people next to us bowl.

"Not talking to me?" I asked, scared he would say no.

He sighed. "Why did you do that?" he asked sadly, shaking his head, still not looking at me.

I grabbed his hand and dragged him off to the bathrooms. When we got into the ladies room, I shut the door behind us and locked it. "I'm sorry. I didn't realise that would upset you. I didn't mean anything by it. He was flirting with me, I was just joking around, that's all," I explained, trying to get him to look at me, but he just closed his eyes for a second before looking back at me again.

"Angel, that was hard to watch." He pulled me to his chest, looking into my eyes; I could see that I had hurt him badly.
