"I'm really sorry," I apologize again, unsure of what else to say. My eyes start watering but I repress the urge to cry. I'm not the one that should be sad right now. I don't have the right to be sad.
"You know...you're kind of a piece of s**t, Nova," he finishes. I stare at him with watering eyes as he stands up. "I guess I'll see you around."
I sit at the table with a sour taste in my mouth, knowing that everything he said is true. Though I didn't realize I was leading him on until it was a bit too late, there isn't any other way to explain it. I should've stopped as soon as I realized it and I should've sat down and explained things to him. I owed him that, even if I know deep down that the after effects would probably be similar. I just wish things hadn't played out the way they had.
