He Loved My Fake Self Chapter 12

The party was huge. Packed with faces from both schools.

I didn’t want to go. But Jolene tracked me down, eyes practically pleading.

“After graduation, we’ll all go our separate ways. We might never see each other again. Not having your blessing… that’s been my biggest regret. Please, I saved you.”

Her eyes were red. Voice cracking.

“Do not make me carry this regret after graduation. Please.”

Everyone was watching.

The word “no” stuck in my throat.

I caved.

Still, I figured having Kyle there would keep things from getting weird.

When I arrived, I went straight to the private room. Didn’t let Kyle come get me like he’d offered.

I pushed the door open. Set my bag and phone down. Looked around.

And realized the party wasn’t about them at all.
