Sadie Wilde

POV

Song – James Arthur

Say you won’t let go.

I met you in the dark

You lit me up

You made me feel as though

I was enough

Hearing Hunter’s favorite song playing, sent shivers down my spine. I hated this song, after everything he did to me, after every memory of the pain he put me through. I still couldn’t listen to a James Arthur song without having a panic attack. Tia recommended therapy but I wasn’t ready to deal with the shit that came with it. but here I was, the shit came to me, I had to deal with the shit that is Hunter. I knew I couldn’t hide forever. Not if I wanted to get out of here alive. I needed to face Hunter head on, I couldn’t let him just come into my life and bulldoze over everything I’ve worked on for months.

I watch Hunter walk in with a speaker. He places it on the counter next to the ring Beck gave me. Pieces of the ring he gave me.

Hunter takes me into his arms while I was distracted, he sings along to the song as the tears fall
