||" Damien Troy "|| My lips quivered, I didn't know what was happening to me, I actually felt hurt, I had prickly heat swelling up in my chest, I didn't like this, my mind was clouded and felt blurry. The world felt blurry. It's a lie….I kept repeating it to myself, like a mantra, Kristen's words felt alive in my ears, I could feel every statement, every line of words she said. I could feel everything. She was hurting and haunting me with her words, and as much as I didn't want to give her the satisfaction that she was winning, she wasn't, At least that's what I told myself. "Kristen?" I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper, someone might even think I'm crying, even though I wasn't, yes I was hurt and my heart pinged with pain but I wasn't crying. I will never cry
