Vanessa just keeps staring at me and parts her lips to speak, but it seems she can't find her words.

She said it was because she had something else that would hurt even more."

"And what was that?" I cross my arms.

My heart instantly starts racing as I uncross my arms, my eyes going round a little in panic. Shit!

"Is it true?" she asks.
