Emmet:
"Maximus—," I ran after him as he rushed into the woods. I couldn't watch him look so sad and angry with me. I loved my baby brothers so much.
"No! You will stay away from me from now on. I'm done begging for your love and care. You've shown again and again that you don't care about me," he yelled, turning around to show me his teary eyes.
Seeing the tears in his eyes felt like walking on fire. The heat rushed from my feet to my head.
I would do anything to make him feel better. But what could I do? I was in love with Helanie—the only person I could love after losing my first love.
Helanie came into my life and became so important that the thought of losing her makes me want to stop living. And she loves me back.
If it were someone else, I might have left her for my brother. But it's Helanie, and her love is meant for me. I can't treat her like an object and leave her for my brother as if her own will doesn't matter.
