I was immersed in Ally. My sweet, wonderful Ally. My best friend. Ally, who deserved so much. The thought hit me, and pulled me from my daze for a moment. Fuck! What was I doing? How had I let this moment get this far? This was my Ally. I was no better than Brendon…taking advantage of her here in this barn. I couldn’t be who she needed. I was just like him. I was nothing that she needed. I was a selfish asshole, trying to take what I was so desperate to have without even thinking about her and what this meant. I hated myself in this moment.
