LEO: You should come earlier. That way we can try to talk before shit gets crazy.

ME: You still want to tell Max tomorrow?

LEO: Unless you've changed your mind.

I'm not the one I'm worried about.

ME: Have you?

LEO: No.

ME: I'll see you tomorrow then.

Maybe.

Is this what Max was trying to protect me from? If so, I owe my brother an apology.

Still, I wait five minutes before heading back to my dorm. To see if she leaves. The entire time wondering what is going on behind closed doors. Dreading the worst and praying for the best.

By the time my head hits the pillow, my cheeks are stained with tears and my heart is breaking in my chest. Because Leo not only lied to me, but he also chose to spend time with her instead of me. He chose her over me. And whatever kind ofshithe was dealing with was done behind closed doors. Where no one would witness their indiscretions.
