I was obviously very annoyed, but also sad at the same time. Either way, I knew I'd done the right thing, even though it didn't go quite as expected.As hard as I tried not to, I still cried because I just couldn't help it.I broke Emily's heart, even though I didn't mean to. She just wouldn't understand that we weren't just meant to be.Well at least Adam would be happy now.I tried forcing myself to sleep but I just couldn't. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Emily. She'd gone through a lot in her life and I wasn't even helping matters. I knew I loved her, so why did I say I didn't? What was wrong with me?I laid on the couch, thinking for what seemed like ages to me, before the door opened and my parents walked in."Hi mom. Hi dad." I said, trying not to show any emotion."Hey son." My dad said gloomily."Hi Daniel." My mom said in the s

"Don't do that!" Ashley yelled, rushing over to where I stood, collecting my phone charger from me."What? I want to charge." I interjected, scrunching up my face at her. She made a face at me, sitting on the chair behind me, my favourite sofa."I'm charging there. Go find somewhere else." She whined."Wait, why are you in my house again?" I asked her, taking my charger from her forcefully, going to find another place to charge."Because you love me, that's why." She smiled at me, grabbing the remote from the table, changing the channel."Love is a strong word." I mumbled, plugging my phone in a socket behind me. I sat down on the sofa near the entrance, since Ashley was sitting on my favourite one."So you don't love me, then?" She questioned, with a frown on her face. I shook my head. When did I say that I didn't?"I didn't say that, Ashley." I told her.

When the banging on the door reached my ears, I shuddered in fright, dropping the bowl of water in my hand. I peeped out the kitchen door, but it just wasn't easy to view the door to the entrance from the kitchen door. I slowly walked out the kitchen as I heard the banging become louder and louder. Who the heck was that? "Who's that?!" I yelled at the door as I neared it. A low, mumbling sound came from the other side of the door. Adam? "Is that you? Honey?" I asked as I placed my hand on the doorknob. It felt cold and only added to the fear I felt inside. My heart thumped in my chest when I heard the voice. "Open the damn door!" I heard Adam's voice say as I unlocked the bolt on the door. The door got pushed open the moment I unlocked it and an angry looking Adam is seen, breathing hard, looking a little damp. He stared at me with his large brown eyes, making me gasp in shock.  "What...wha..."

"He's fucking calling." Adam breathed, standing up from the ground. "He's fucking calling you again!" He yelled. Oh gosh. So far the morning had been going quite fine but now... "Adam, please calm down. I'll just tell him to stop calling." I tried to calm him down. "Shut the fuck up!" He spat, walking up to the bed. He grabbed the phone and stared at it for some seconds, breathing hard with fury. He suddenly threw the phone to the bed as he returned back to me, standing right in front of me. "You caused this, you know." He whispered, my legs quivering in response. "I...how?" I asked. "When you fucking told me to act like someone I wasn't. I agreed only because you threatened on calling off the wedding but now see what you've caused! You want to cheat on me with that prick?!" He spat in my face, making me scrunch up my wet face. "I didn't.

"Are you...are you messing with me right now? Are you kidding? Are you joking? You better not be messing with me, Emily." He said through the phone, a new pain growing in my elbow. "I'm not kidding, Daniel! I should get to the hospital soon." I said, standing up from the bed. "I'll be fine though, I'll get to the - " "No, you can't go all by yourself." He interrupted as I opened the door and walked outside the room. "I can. I'll get a taxi, don't worry about me." I told him and started walking down the stairs carefully. I knew if I got myself downstairs and went outside, I would definitely find a taxi in seconds. All I had to do was to actually get down the stairs and outside the house. "Emily, text me your address. I'll come pick you up." I heard him say, also hearing the jingle of keys in the background. "No, Daniel. I - " "Emily, please. You're obviously n
