“I’m not lying!” Tears spill down my cheeks.

“Stop!” he bellows, silencing me. “We’re done. Don’t call me. Don’t come to see me. In fact…just forget I ever existed because that’s what I intend to do with you.”

Then, he’s gone.

And I’m standing here, in shock, my phone still in my hand.

Confusion, hurt, and pain spill through me.

I didn’t drink.

Someone had to have given me something…

Put something in my drink.

Like what?

No…

Luke had insisted I come here after I told him what happened.

He believed me. No questions asked.

Unlike the guy who’s supposed to love me.

But I can’t think about Ares right now because, if I do, I’ll start crying. And I don’t want to cry.

How he looked at me…like he hated me. What he said just before he left…
