Chapter 0349

“I’m surprised, but also impressed.” Reaper says, and I swear I could hear the amusement in his voice. “Everyone talked about how much you loved her; I didn’t think you’d ever hurt her, especially for Ava.”

It’s as I said that it finally hit me. My love for Emma was completely gone. It was dead, and maybe it has been for a long time now. What I feel for Ava is stronger.

Looking back, I was infatuated with Emma and the idea of love. Plus, everyone used to say that we belonged together. That we were perfect together. I think that went to my head. I heard it said so much when we were younger that maybe it brainwashed me into thinking that it was the truth.

Everyone wanted us together, including our mothers, who pushed us to always be around each other. What if what I thought was love was nothing but an idea planted in our heads by our mothers? A fantasy they had no business pushing on

If it wasn’t for the constant pushing, would we have gotten together? Would we have started dating? The answer is probably a big fucking NO.

“Sure”
