"I'm so in love with you!" She screams over the rain. I stop in my tracks, for a moment, her words take my breathe away. But I push it away and whip around to face her.
"No! You don't get to do this to me anymore, Sidle! I won't let you do this to me anymore! Because if you say that, Sara, I'm going to believe you. But then once the nights over, you'll go back to him. You always have and you always will. So I'm done giving you my heart for you to stomp on. I'm done," I gesture around at the empty Vegas streets, "With all of this fucked up shit!"
"What can I do to fix this?" She screams down the empty street.
"You just don't get it, do you?" I let out a low, bitter laugh. "This is far beyond the point of fixing!"
"Please, Greg," Her voice cracks, and my heart breaks even more. But I stay strong and I walk away.
She was kidnapped only half an hour later.
