Chapter 16 His True Color

• Lucy slammed the door to her room shut and even locked it. Her eyes burned but she didn’t want to cry. Even her chest tightened and she could feel a lump in her throat… She felt repulsed. Repulsed by his actions and everything. Why did she have to go through this? Why couldn’t she feel anything? And why did she run away? Did she even have the right to?

The tears she had so much tried to hold came trickling down and she wiped them with the back of her hand. If only there was a way.
