Lia I wake up to a faint sound that sounds like the doorbell, and I raise my head from Ty’s chest, trying to listen better, but there’s nothing. I guess I must have been dreaming. I look at him to find him sleeping peacefully and decide to lie back down, placing my head back on his chest. Yesterday’s events with Chris start playing in my mind, causing me to feel the familiar ache in my heart. But it had to happen. Holding on was only going to make it worse. I can never compromise on my values. Ty tightens his arms around me, and I tilt my head, looking up at him again. What am I doing to him? Every time something goes wrong in my life, I always drag him into it and it’s wrong. I can’t keep on doing this to him, using him like this. He doesn’t deserve it. He must have felt my eyes
