Shawwred at the note, reading that one line over and over. He was taken Raisey id
ASTLE TUM IT WAS over
with hiphope to hand, she looked foods and saw Shams sleek, black car parked on
He hadrone after her
And now, he was asking her to go down and meet him
Halsey held Gre phone muste tightly. “It’s in
good time for me to come down, dar. Lane It
you have something to say, just say over the phone
Mr Lane! Shaun gave a cold laugh: “Semy Mr Lane now/ That is funny you sure didn’t call me that last night! Guess you’re one of those people who farget everything once the fan’s
Over
Halsey was quiet for a beat just say what you need to say If you’re done, Um hanging up
“Don’t you dare hang up on me!” Shaun’s voice suddenly dropped, sharp and cold like ice
Then get to the point
Shaun asked, “Why did you leave by yourself? I woke up and you were gone.”
Halsey said nothing.
” can pretend none of this happened. I’ve already started planning the wedding. Whatever dress or ceremony you want, I’ll-
“That’s enough!”
Halsey cut him off. She had to. If she let him keep talking, she was afraid she’d give in
“Did you see the note I left on the nightstand?”
Since he hadn’t mentioned it, she had no choice but to bring it up herself
I saw it. So what” Shaun said flatly
Halsey gripped the phone tightly “Let’s not waste time dancing around the truth I said everything I needed to say in that note
I won’t agree to this breakup!” Shaun snapped, cutting her off
Halsey’s heart trembled. The words she had prepared were suddenly stuck in her throat
Did on hear me I’m not breaking up with you!” Shaun practically shouted
He wasn’t going to let her RO
ELPS Inches her phone rightly, she didn’t want to break up with Shouvertes, but she
erter save hits
She didn’t want him to Hve his whole life in the shadows
she hoped that one day, he could finally step into the light and truly live
As Dwight, he had lost his father when he was just a child. People whispered that he was the son of a drug dealer, and he grew up under the weight of that label, stuck in a world of judgment and pain. Then his mother died, and he fell off a cliff in an accident. His life had always been steeped in darkness
Now he was Sham, and he had already reached toward the light he was just one step away.
Halsey wanted him to live in that light
Holding her phone with a heavy heart, Halsey forced herself to say, “It’s over between us. You’ll have to deal with your problems now That’s it. I’m hanging up.
She was about to end the call
But Shaun shouted angrily, “Come out here!”
“I’m not coming,” she replied flatly.
“If you want to break up,” Shaun snapped, “then say it to my face! What’s the point of doing this over the phone? I’m right downstairs. Come down now!”
“I think I’ve made myself clear. There’s nothing more to talk about
I’m not leaving! I’ll wait right here until you come down
Do whatever you want
Halsey hung up on him
Still halding her phone, she stood by the window and looked down Shaun’s car was still parked outside He hadn’t left He was just standing there by the car, waiting
He was really waiting for her
Then a ball of lighting split across the sky, and rain started to fall. Heavy raindrops pounder down from above in a sudden, relentless storin
Halsey looked again Shaun hadn’t gone back to the car. He was still starting there in the pouring rais
odi pren buske-1, but he didn’t move been through the downtur, is fed the bas
gerer forked right on her
Halsey’s heart aler
That idier’ Why wouldn’t he just leave? Why was he standing in the rain?
Downstates, Shaun never moved. He wasn’t going to leave he had to wait until Halsey came Nown
Just last night, everything had been perfect between them Then suddenly, she had left hi with note saying it was over. He wasn’t going to accept that
The rain kept falling, harder and colder, running down his jawline in icy streams.
Then, all of a sudden, an umbrella appeared above his head
Shaun froze
When he turned, he saw Halsey
She had come down
She had come
Shaun’s eyes lit up. “You came! I knew you’d come see me!”
He reached out and grabbed her hand, but he was drenched, and the rain instantly soaked through the sleeve of her jacket.
He let go quickly and tried to wipe the water off her arm, flashing an apologetic smile. “Sorry I’m soaked. Come with me. I’ll go shower, and we can
Halsey looked at the way he handled her so carefully, and her chest tightened painfully. He didn’t need to lower himself like this
She met his eyes and interrupted him, “I’m here now. What exactly do you want to say
“You think i came down here to see you?” she cut him off coldly “You’re wrong I just didn’t want to wake my parents I didn’t want them to worry
Her words were like knives, slicing straight into Shaun’s chest
He froze as he stared at her delicate face; pale in the rain. She looked even more beautiful now but the warmth that used to be there was gone
