“Then I keep looking.” Jax stared at me like he didn’t recognize me. “You’re not chasing her anymore. You’re chasing a ghost.” “I’m chasing truth,” I said quietly. “Truth doesn’t fix anything.” “No,” I said. “But lies already ruined enough.” He shook his head. “You think this is noble, but it’s not.

They discussed their strategies, ensuring that they were prepared for whatever truths they would uncover. Alex, the leader with an unwavering determination, voiced their shared sentiments. "This chapter is crucial for us," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "We have come so far, and now it's time to face the truth head-on. Whatever it may be, we must be ready to embrace it and use it as a catalyst for change." Andrea, known for her intuition and empathy, added, "The truth has a way of setting us free. It may challenge our beliefs and shake the foundations of what we thought we knew, but in the end, it will lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us."

They had let me think the worst of them all this time, just so that I wouldn't suffer the weight of these memories. But surviving was not enough, I wanted to live and I would only achieve that by knowing the truth. And the truth was liberating. I no longer felt guilty for feeling the way I did about three different people, but I felt so many inconsistent and unreasonable things. I lost myself in Logan's grey gaze, the sparkle in his eyes, the calmness of his expression, -I... He put his finger on my mouth, “Okay.”

I mocked. “It's much easier to see what you want to see. I'll say it a thousand times, and it'll look the same to you.” He snorted. He snorted. “I'm not going to stand here like everyone else, trying to make you see the truth by force; one day you'll see it for yourself, and it'll be too late.” “Truth is a relative concept.” I muttered. “Maybe it is, but you can't run away from it all your life.”

It was no longer a quest for truth or vengeance; now it was a very personal struggle of head versus heart. All of the truths that I had acquired screamed of deceit and corruption, but in one look were able to ignite an all-encompassing, almost unstoppable craving for the man who I had tried to convince myself I knew.
