“Well, good luck on your date.” I snorted loudly, not meaning to, and then walked out.
“Diana, wait! I can explain.” Axel chased me.
“Save it, Axel. I don’t want to hear your bullcrap.”
He grabbed my hand, looking like a beaten pup. “Diana, please. I know I shouldn’t have left you that night, but it was a matter of life and death.”
“You mean, out of all those people in the temple, only you could bring Jena to the hospital?” I slapped his paws off in utter disbelief. “Have you thought about what I’d feel before you abandoned me, alone in that temple?” I roared.
Axel went silent for a while but all he could say was, “I did.” which was the lamest lie I had ever heard. If he had ever put my feelings first, he wouldn’t have put me through that pain and torn a hole in my soul.
“Enough. I don’t have time for this bloody conversation,” I said, soulless, and left.
Axel shouted that we would talk about this late, but I refused. What was there to talk about? Everything was crystal from the start.
