Ella POVI shouldn’t have left class.But if I stayed another second in that room, I was either going to cry or scream.Possibly both.The bathroom is empty when I shove the door open.Thank God.I grip the edge of the sink and stare down at it, trying to breathe normally.This is getting out of control.Everything is getting out of control.The rumors.The staring.Beckett.Especially Beckett.Because somehow he keeps getting worse.One second he’s defending me like I matter.The next he’s saying things that completely destroy me.Then he looks at me afterward like he’s the one hurting.I don’t understand him.And honestly?I’m starting to hate that part of me still wants to.The bathroom door suddenly opens behind me.I tense instantly.Then close my eyes.Of course.“Ella.”Beckett.I don’t turn around.“You followed me into the girls bathroom?”“You ran out of class.”“I left class.”“Same thing.”I laugh bitterly under my breath.“You really don’t hear yourself, do you?”Silence.
