Hailey's POV

I lied.

I lied to him about everything. About everything… About me, liking-- loving him or about me not wanna be there.

I have to push him away from me. I can't let myself grow any feelings for him.

I don't wanna get hurt because I know that he will never love me back.

Moreover, I don't even know why I love him. Maybe it's just infatuation and I don't wanna act on it.

He doesn't have feelings for me; so he will not get hurt if I leave him. ...
