āAll of those things point to you lying to my face.ā As much as she wanted to beieve whatever Oliver had to say, but she couldnāt. āThat is the oldest fucking excuse in the book! You never fucked up. You had too high expectations of yourself. I was happy with you Oliver. You didnāt need to change!ā She wanted to scream at him.. she wanted to shout. But then he spoke again and her heart dropped. āWhat?ā Juniper sighed before she shook her head. She couldnāt bring herself to believe that.Ā āYou didnāt.ā She stated with a shake of her head and a sigh. Juniper had imagined a life with Oliver. She had imagined children and having him as her husband. She had imagine walking down the aisle to see him at the end⦠and she had tried to push past all of that and here he was telling her that if she had stayed⦠if she had only been there when he came back she would have gotten all of that? No. She refused to believe it.Ā
āYou may not think I needed to change, but I did.ā He shook his head.Ā āNone of this was about you. I didnāt go because I didnāt want you. I didnāt go because I wasnāt in love with you. I went for me. And, yes that is selfish. But, is it not also selfish of you to not understand how much pain I was in?ā He looked away.Ā āI didnāt grieve my mother dying. I lost my whole family. I didnāt know if my sister was dead or alive.ā Oliver licked his lips looking back at her.Ā āI didnāt leave because of you. I left because of me. I wasnāt in the right head space, I didnāt know what I was doing. I just had to do it. And, Iām sorry that hurt you that was never my intention. I just needed time.ā Oliver sighed again, his head dropping as he looked at the ground between them. He ignored her question, he shouldnāt have even said it.Ā āI looked for you. I never wanted you to wait. I never wanted you to put your life on hold. I only ever wanted you to be happy.āĀ
