All Chapters of Love To Hate Me: Chapter 41 - Chapter 45

Staring at Jasper's unconscious form lying on my bed, my heart sinks. His sharp jawline, bruised but still breathtaking, and his full lips, cracked and dry, unsettles me to my core. The crisscrossing strips of gauze and jagged edges of surgical tape only add to the gravity of his condition.A wave of guilt washes over me, its familiar gnawing sensation eating away at my existence. Fear claws at my mind, making my blood rush into my ears.Goddammit!I'm trapped in this nightmare, and I'm the one who created it!I chased him away, and now he's lying broken and battered on my bed. Everything that happened to him is my fault.The Ravens... they had to pay. I tore them apart... they touched what's mine.Fuck! I remember their bodies crumpled beneath my feet, their blood soaking into my skin like a twisted baptism.I know I'm selfish. I drew him into a war he never saw coming. But he has to deal with it now because Jasper Morgan belongs to me."I'm sorry, Jas," My fingers brush against his

Going after straight guys has never been my thing. I mean, I admire them, but it's always just admiration. That is, until Rhys Volkov came along.

Jasper is smiling and laughing as he gets off his bike and removes his helmet. He's accompanied by two girls on their own bikes, and it's clear that those two girls are together.They keep holding each other, and the tall one seems madly possessive. She bears a resemblance to Jasper, but with a more rugged edge.It's been five days since Jasper left the mansion, and I've been watching him like a hawk. Or rather, like a stalker.I've been messing up our relationship, and it's clear that he's moved on. He attends classes regularly, living his life without me, and he looks genuinely happy.Well.. Asael and Ethan told me that Jasper saw me kissing Patricia, and that he cried.I hurt him, and it's not sitting well with me.Am I an asshole? Yeah, I guess I am.Should I apologize? Probably.But I'm frozen, unable to take that step. Why?
