If this had been a different time and she wasn’t one hundred percent stuck on Gabriel, Peters show here would have won her over. With his words even though her called her easy, calling her out on him being her back up plan, with him saying he wanted her heart and how he loved her, even covered in his blood. It was something Elle never heard and she liked it, there was a tiny part of her that liked it.

She just couldn’t handle this without completely cracking and she hadn’t been down that road for a while. “You are better off just hating me,” she informed him as she turned to look at him with hard blue eyes. “Why can you see that we are not meant to be? Why can you see I am in love with him?”
