Rose's Pov
I knew Eve's heart was in a good place when she suggested this outing, but honestly, I just couldn't bring myself to have fun no matter how hard I tried, as all I could think about was Lucas and how heartbreaking it would be to leave him. I didn't know if I could survive it, but deep down I knew I had to try. With me gone, Lucas will have a target off his back and that is all I have ever wanted.
Lucas didn't deserve to carry all my baggage with me, this fight with Keith was all mine, so he didn't deserve to carry it with me as well.
Lucas has protected and saved me from Keith. And heaven knows that I would have been dead if not for him, so it is now my turn to repay him for everything he has done for me. And to do that, I had no choice but to leave him, even though I knew it
