NovelEnglishChapter 517 Judy's POV A second chance.
Her words rang in my head long after I left. Chester was waiting forin the car when I returned. He was respectful enough to remain quiet for most of the drive; I knew both our minds were deep in thought. My heart had been shattered a million times over this past week, but in that one moment, when Rachel toldshe wanted a second chance with Gavin, the shattered pieces of my heart were stepped on with the black pumps she was wearing that insinuated her long legs and gorgeous legs.
There was a tight knot in my throat as I breathed; I was unable to swallow it down. It only grew with each passing breath. I was numb enough that crying was off the table, but not so numb that the pain wasn't there... it was there, and it was evident.
I didn't bother saying goodbye to Gavin when I left. I let Rachel givea hug; her fluorescent perfinvaded my nose... I hated that she smelled so good. Even I was drawn to her. When she released me, she gavea warm smile and toldto take car eof myself. She also said she hopes to seearound again soon... when I'm doing tutoring sessions with Matt, that is.

Instead of takingback to the mansion, I asked him if he could just takeback to my family home. Being around anything Gavin-related was going to destroyeven further. I didn't want any reminders of him right now.
"Not really," I admitted, my eyes fixed out the window.
I could feel his unease beside me, and then from the corner of my eye I saw him nodding.
"Okay," he said softly. "We don't have to talk. But you know I'm going to have Nan harass you all night, right? Not that I'll need to convince her otherwise." I knew Nan was going to be beyond worried aboutand she wasn't going to letrest until I actually spoke to her.
Sure enough, the second we pulled into the driveway of my family home, Nan was right behind us. She quickly got out of her car and ran towards the passenger side of Chester's car.
"You already told her?" I asked, glancing at him with an accusatory glare.
He shrugged, looking a bit sheepish.
"We are trying this whole honesty thing," he explained. "I can't keep things from her, especially when it concerns her best friend." I sighed, knowing that he was right. Nan was desperately trying to trust him after his playboy tendencies, so she's making him tell her everything. She would be furious if he kept any details aboutto himself.
Before I could comprehend what was happening, she had the door open, and her arms wrapped around me. "Judy, are you okay?" She asked, huggingtightly. "Is it true that his former ex-lover has returned?" "I really don't want to talk about it, Nan," I told her, trying to shimmy my way out of her embrace so I could get out of the car.
"You might not want to talk about it, but you have to," she told me, narrowing her eyes as she helpedout of the car. "Your heart is broken, and you need a friend right now." "I'm not sure what I need, but I think space is a good idea," I told her, biting my lower lip. All I really wanted to do was curl up in a ball and cry my heart out... but no tears would come. My eyes felt dry, and my heart was shattered beyond repair at this point. I didn't need to talk about it; I needed to bury myself under my blankets and hide away from the world.

"You are depressed, and it's understandable," Nan said, tears welling up in her jerk for hotta eyes. ( He's such a you about this first. Can't believe you found out about this in this kind of way Not even Irene knew about her "Oh, please tellIrene doesn't know what's happening," I said, wanting to sink even lower into the ground.
She shakes her head, her eyes filled with remorse.
"It's late and she's sleeping right now," she explained. "The baby wake up once, and changed her and put her back to bed. Her fever completely broke thanks to you." I was relieved to hear that, though it didn't makefeel any better.
"It's only a matter of tbefore Irene finds out, though," Chester said, leaning against his car. "She finds out everything, and plus... she's a Landry."
I thought about Matt and what he was saying the other day about his perception being off. I knew he was rooting forand his father he had said on countless occasions that he wished I could be his real mother and then there was that the asked if I loved Gavin. It tookby surprise, and I didn't answer him out loud, but that was the moment that I decided... or maybe I realized, that I did love Gavin.
