Selena’s P.O.V.

But I can’t tell him that I love him. I’m too scared.

What if I tell him, and everything gets ruined? What if my parents hate me?

No. No. I can’t bear to see the disappointment in their eyes. This can never happen.

No matter what, I’ll never let my parents hate me. If I have to destroy my own happiness, I’ll do it for them—because my only goal is to please them and finally receive their love. I can’t let anyone come between me and that goal, not even James.

I take a deep breath and say, controlling my emotions. “ I don’t care what you feel. Let me go, James. I told you from the beginning—we have no future. I never gave you false hope.”

My voice sounds foreign to me.

His grip loosens.

Now is my chance to leave. He won’t stop me after hearing my ruthless lie—that I don’t care about what he feels.

But the truth is, I do.

I feel his pain as if it were my own. And I know—I’m breaking his heart.

I’m breaking mine too.

And God… I will never forgive myself for hurting him.

    James’s P.O.V. Unbearable pain. I feel unbearable pain in my chest for letting Selena go, even after knowing that she needs me like I need her. Because I don’t want to make things difficult for her, I don’t want to force her to choose me instead of her parents. I never want to push her for anything. Now she's gone from my room, from my life, and I feel completely incomplete without her. I get up from the bed and sit on the mini bar stool in my room before starting to drink directly from the bottle. I feel a type of emptiness that I've never felt before.The bitter liquid burns down my throat, but it’s nothing compared to the ache in my chest. I take another sip, hoping it will numb the hollow feeling inside me, but nothing happens. Her voice, her touch, the way she looked at me with those eyes full of unspoken words—I can still feel it all. And yet, she’s gone. I let her go. Tears stream down my face as I slam the bottle onto the counter before gripping the edge as I struggle t
