We dance harder and my heart beat picks up even more speed. Soon, I’m gasping for breath and I need to stop. I pull from Chris reluctantly and turn to face him. I smile at him and see he is just as out of breath as I am. “Thanksâ€? I mouth and as I walk away, I feel his fingers brush my hand ever so gently. I gasp a little but manage to keep my face straight and continue walking.

I walk up stairs, giving Edwin the one minute sign as he shoots me a questioning look. I go to our upstairs bathroom and take a deep breath after I’m safely locked inside. I push my hair out of my face and stare at the face in the mirror. The girl I saw was a cheater and a liar… not the good girl I’ve known all my life.

I grab the hair tie from my wrist and tie up my hair, not wanting to deal with it anymore. I splash some cold water on my face, careful not to smudge my eye make-up. Once I look semi decent again I head back to my basement.

“You okay?â€? Edwin asks, wrapping me up in his arms when he sees me return.
