Lana’s POV What did he just say? Did my ears hear right, or I was just being delusional? “Paul… What did you just say?” I asked in a clearer voice. Tears and sadness left me as curiosity took over my being. Paul took a step back and rubbed his neck while smiling sheepishly. He dropped his hand and gestured around. “What I meant to say is… I know my brother hurt you, especially since you like him. I wanted to fill that void. I know how it feels to have someone you like not like you back. I’ve been there before, and it hurts. All I had to do was move on with someone else.” I understood what he was saying as it was something I was also planning on doing now but now, he was making things even harder than before. Paul was speaking in a way that left me confused and conflicted with myself.
