The Past Between Us novel Chapter 10

I sighed as I tried to concentrate on my work.

My mind seemed to be far away. I couldn't concentrate.

My phone beeped announcing that I'd received a text message. Jace's name flashed across the screen.

I read his text;

"I've emailed you my old notes. They'll help you study. J"

I needed all the help I could get.

He probably sent it to my old email account.

I logged into my email. I was immediately flooded with thousands of messages. I realized that this was the first time I was using it after three years.I absentmindedly scrolled through the messages. Most of them were advertisements and spam.

A familiar name suddenly popped up and I felt like my heart had stopped beating.

Megan.

She had emailed me.

And not just once.

There were at least 10 of them.

My hands were trembling as I clicked on one of them. It was the oldest one. Sent three years ago.

"Hey Scar.

It's been a week since you left.

I heard about what happened and I'm really sorry. I understand that you need some time alone but I miss you so much. We all do.

Hunter is a mess right now. Your departure has really wrecked him. I know something happened between the two of you but he won't talk to me about it.

Hunter got into a huge fight with Jace after you left. It's the first time I've ever seen them fight like this Scar, it was scary. I don't know why, but I have a feeling it has something to do with you.

I'm so sorry that you're hurting Scar. I wish I could take some of your pain away.

I've always admired your strength. You'll get through this.

I'm here for you.

Always.

Love you.

Your sister, Megan."

A sob left my lips as I finished reading.

Oh Megan.

I'm so sorry.

I got up and grabbed my car keys from the table.
