"Wow, spoiling me now, huh?" I teased, grinning as I stepped past her, gaze scanning around the apartment. "Nice place, it's cozy. Lot more quiet than where I am," |
|  |
|
| |
|
"I think you mean it's small, cheap, and has minimal things to keep away clutter. But cozy works too...So what's happening...here" She said, gesturing between the two of them |

I paused for a moment, turning to face her as I tried to find something to say that wasn't insane sounding. Which was what I wanted to say. "Look, I might sound a little crazy when I say everything," I warned, not giving her a chance to reply. "I've about lost my damn mind without you, Em. I know I said we could try again if we wanted to and I----God I want to, I want there to be an us again."
I started, gesturing between the two of us. "So please, please be saying the truth when you answer this but, can we go back to being us again?" |

She sat there and listened to him before taking a moment to think about her answer. She had wanted to be with him again too but had felt hurt when he told her off--and rightfully so. She had trusted that he loved her and he essentially told her he wasn't interested anymore. "How can I trust you?" She asked softly, eyes wide and vulnerable |
| |

I stared at her for a moment, processing what she said before huffing a laugh, caught off guard by her words. "How. . . can you. . . trust me?" I repeated slowly, utterly confused. "Why wouldn't you be able to? You trusted me then. . . right? What, I broke up with you because I thought you didn't want me anymore? Because Cadence started texting you things that are not, and never will be true?" I asked quietly, gaze flicked out the window before landing on hers once more. "I promise you, Emily, i'm alot of things, but the things she called me, I am not." |

| |
|
"I was scared to make you bored of me and you told me you no longer wanted me. Do you even know how stupid I felt walking out that door, Caden? How used and humiliated?" She asked quietly, getting upset |
| |
|
| |
|
"I did want you----I want you still, I thought I messed everything up. You'd barely even look at me, let alone speak to me. I didn't want to break up, I just wanted what was best for you." I explained, brow creasing slightly. |
| |
|
| |
|
"I was scared she was right..." She admitted, hearing the knock on the door and getting the food. She handed Caden's food to him and sat dow with her own |
| |
|
| |
|
"Well. . . either you trust what she says, or you trust what I say, i'm not going to force you to pick a side." I noted, taking the bowl from her. "Thank you," |
| |
|
| |
|
She nodded at his thanks, eating her own food. "I haven't talked to her since. I blocked her" |
