Evaline:
Everything hurt.
It wasn't just my head or my limbs, not just my stomach that felt tight and was cramping with dull pain. No - this ache went deeper. Into my bones. Into the very core of who I was.
When I opened my eyes and realized I was lying on a hospital bed, I was surprised. Everything around me was unfamiliar. The last thing I could recall was the pain that made me lose consciousness.
As I recalled that moment, a familiar face flashed through my memory.
Jasmine Bills.
Her laughter. The way she threw herself into Oscar's arms like she belonged there. Like she had every right to touch him like that. Like I didn't exist at all.
And Oscar...
Just when I started thinking that I had no more tears left, that I had cried enough for past couple of days while my heart quietly fell to pieces, I was proven wrong. The sight of Jasmine Bills wrapped around my mate... it torn open a new wound. A rawer, deeper one.
"Miss Evaline?"
