Queenebunoluwa15 "Cecile..." The words felt heavy, and they added to the intensity of the atmosphere around them.
"Joel...?" Cecile's voice wavered as she stared at him, eyes brimming with unshed tears. How could she not have known? How could she have hoped for something more between them... more than friendship? How could she?
"I don't feel the same for you..." His words sliced through the air, like fiery knives piercing her already wounded heart.
"You...?" Cecile's breath hitched, and the tears she'd been holding back began to fall in large drops, blurring her vision.
"I'm sorry..." His words were thick with regret as he turned his gaze away from her, looking out at the vast sea before them, unable to face her pain.
"My heart only beats for her... for Jemmy..." Cecile's world came crashing down, the confession cutting deeper than the loss of her own sister ever had.
"I hate you!" She stood up abruptly, her anger and hurt driving her to run off, leaving Joel behind in the thickening silence.
Joel stood there, paralyzed, unable to follow her, the ghosts of the past haunting every inch of his being. Guilt overwhelmed him-he had never meant to hurt her, never meant to make her cry.
---
