Landon's POV
{Outside the Hospital - 2:42 PM}
I swear, I expected worse. Something even worse than worse from Kelsey.
She didn't hit me like I thought, nor did she scream, throw punches, or threaten to crush my balls with a hospital chair. She just... sat there. Silent. Hurt.
I would've preferred a slap across the face. At least I could handle that pain. It's nothing.
But this? This quiet? This calm?
That shit cuts deep. It's worse than my heart could handle. I don't want to be hated at all by the woman I love.
All I wanted was to hold her and say, 'I'm sorry,' a hundred times over. All I wanted was to bleed if I had to.
