Emily's POV
"I didn't do it." He whispered softly.
I pushed myself off the ground and faced him. I studied him, I really studied him. His eyes are clamped shut, almost painfully, like it pains him to admit this to me. His jaw is tight, as his teeth grind against each other. His chest is rising and falling not in a fast pace but also not at a normal pace.
"I didn't do it. I loved her. And when you love someone, you don't hurt them, at least not that bad." His voice is strained, pain latching onto every word he says.
He loved her. Does that mean he doesn't love her anymore? Or is that what he wants to believe? Or did she end things between them because she thought that he is the one who hurt her? Would he still get back together with her if he could?
The pain he was and still is in must
