The Cole I knew would never cast me aside like I was nothing. He wouldn't have let me go so easily. He wouldn't have—
I exhaled sharply, pressing my fingers against my temples. Stop it.
It didn't matter anymore.
Because whether I believed it or not, the fact remained—he was gone. And I was still here, clinging to memories that I didn't know what to do.
I had barely survived losing him the first time.
The second nearly destroyed me.
A third?
I wasn't sure I'd make it through.
I refused to let myself be that foolish again. I refused to let the same man break me thrice.
One time was supposed to be enough. The second time, it was my fault. But there would never be a third time.
It was time to let go.
It was time to move on.

Two months.
Just two months left.
Two months until school ended, until graduation, until I was finally out of this country and far, far away from all of this.
