Chapter 43- Your Eyes
Selene ~~
I stepped out of the ward without saying a word.
I heard my father call after me, but I didn't stop.
I couldn't.
I didn't even look back.
I was tired.
Tired of all the lies.
Tired of all the pretending.
I just wanted to get to my room and breathe.
I needed to shut everything out—even if it was just for a while.
But just as I turned the hallway, someone bumped into me hard.
"Watch where you're—" I snapped, spinning around with fire in my eyes.
But before I could finish my sentence, the person raised their hands.
"I'm so sorry!" the girl said quickly, eyes wide and scared. "I didn't see you."
I stopped.
My lips shut.
My heart dropped.
Just like that, my mind began to spiral.
Something about that moment… triggered something deep inside me.
Suddenly, everything came rushing back.
My knees went a little weak.
I remembered now…
I remembered why I was even in the hospital to begin with.
It was the day I broke down.
