(Aaliyah’s POV)
Hours after I had left Jaime up on the rooftop and returned to my room for a second time, my mind still continued to reel from everything he had told me, to my accepting him for who he really was, to my teaming up with him to destroy my own father and every cursed thing he had built.
I really had a lot to think about… a lot to plan, to get started with before I got cold feet, but before I got knee-deep in all of that, there was just one more thing I needed to do first.
I needed to see Naomi.
God, I had been so cruel to my best friend.
Unforgivably cruel.
I had chosen my family over her, accused her of betraying me, of betraying them… I had pushed her away, said some very mean things to her… when all she had ever done was try to protect me.
I really didn’t deserve her
