A tear falls down my cheek as Jax explains why he didn’t intervene with Christopher and me.
An array of emotions floods through me.
Jax was selfless for Chris, but not for giving us a chance.
But at this point, anything is too late now.
We can’t change the past or take anything back.
Jax let me go, and we need to accept that.
“I thought you didn’t care,” I tell him. “That what we’d done was over and you weren’t looking for a relationship.”
Jax shakes his head, a pained expression on his face. “You and Chris hit it off … and it hurt. I was a confused teenage boy, and that’s my biggest regret to this day. It’s not wanting you while you were with my best friend or touching you after his death. My biggest regret is letting you go, Amelia.”
