And before you storm out of here like I figure you will, just now that I honestly did love your brother." She left the statement hanging and then walked over to stand by Lux. It was like the dam burst forth and she couldn't stop talking.<br/><br/>"We were friends for ages and even when I dated your brother. I know that you're very protective of him but you have to know that the love I had for your brother was one hundred percent real. But if you really knew me, you'd know I would hate living in a big city. I wouldn't be happy and yes I understand that to you it was a selfish choice but I thought of your brothers happiness because I'd be miserable and I wouldn't want to make him miserable. I know that's backwards but that's the truth of why we broke up."<br/><br/>She choked on the last few words and then rushed from the room not willing to let Lux see her shed a tear. It was rather abrupt and she should have given Lux a chance to speak but didn't want to further humiliate herself. She heard Tucker come running after her and when she felt his head bump her calves she turned around and threw her arms around the little dog and buried her face into his fur. "Oh Tucker. You always know how to comfort me." This is why she firmly believed that dogs were human's best friend.<br/></div></div><br/>The minute Evelyn said her brother's name, her whole face shut down. That was very possibly the one thing she did NOT want to discuss honestly. In fact Evelyn had some nerve even bringing him up.<br/><br/>"Evelyn, I don't.." but before the rest could come out the woman was suddenly in front of her and words were pouring out. Every line out of her mouth pulled Lux's features tighter but whether it was in anger or just pain it wasn't clear.<br/><br/>She couldn't look at her.<br/><br/>She heard the words and on some level she even understood but she just couldn't bring herself to look at the pretty blonde that had broken her heart along with her brother's. She couldn't do because something deep inside her said that this rift between them was more her fault than anything that Evelyn had done. After all, it had been Lux who had gotten angry on her brother's behalf without having the full story. And it had been her that had gone to confront Evelyn feeling betrayed, like the woman hadn't wanted anything to do with them rather than simply seeing the facts. Evelyn had been brave enough to break things off with Lucas rather than risk making them both unhappy. Lux should have stuck by her but it had been easier to get mad at her rather than deal with the fact that yet another person might have been skipping out on her and her family. So she'd shoved the blonde away before she could think of some reason to cut Lux off.<br/><br/>It was probably for the best that Evelyn fled the room because Lux couldn't seem to swallow past the lump in her throat to simply breathe let alone speak. She didn't know what to say. Her eyes felt hot but she refused to shed a tear. Tears were weak and nothing pissed her off more than useless sniveling. Crying rarely solved anything and she refused to indulge in it now. She just needed to get the fuck out of there.<br/><br/>Doing as she was so well known for, Lux shoved down her own hurt and feelings of inadequacy. Her quivering bottom lip stilled until her jaw became rigid with the force of the anger she wore like a protective shield and without stopping she strolled out of Evelyn's office, her pup clutched in her arms as she headed back to her dad's truck without a backward glance. She should have gone to her, should have tried to make it right, to say she was sorry but she knew anything she could possibly have said wouldn't have been good enough. It never was.
