The Girl He Craves

Chapter 20

Sophie’s pov

I had ignored Carson the entire ride home and when he dropped me off, I didn’t care to tell him goodbye.

Ingrid had instantly noticed my mood and had cursed Carson for being a d**e even though she didn’t know what he had done or said to me. I reassured her that I was fine and it was nothing and went to my room to sleep.

Now it was the next day and I was ignoring Carson. Mali realized something was off and asked me about it

I told her we were just going through a rough patch. What she didn’t know was that I was looking for a way to break up with Carson without hurting him.

I know what he had said to me last night didn’t call for me to be cautious with breaking up with him, if anything I should just cut the chain off, rip the bandaid off. But I was a good person. As good of a person to lie to him.

I was at least trying to be a good person.

So what I did do was avoid him at all cost today and ignore him when he tried to call me. I needed space to think and he wasn’t helping.

A part of me knew that I was only avoiding him because I was still shocked that he said those words to me last night. A part of me couldn’t comprehend how a nice guy like Carson could say such mean stuff to me.

“I’m off to therapy.” Mila sighed as she drops me off in the detention room. Mr. Gray wasn’t here yet.

Call you later?” I said and looked at her.

She nods with a smile. “Definitely.”

And then her eyes roamed over my face. “Are you going to avoid Carson forever Soph?” She asked softly as if treading on something that could shatter at any moment.
