Well...since Louisa had asked directly there was no way that Adam could not answer without giving her a boldface lie. "Yeah, it was Joao," Adam said with a small nod of the head. "We were being civil, then the next thing I know I'm receiving a rather forceful punch to my jaw."
Louisa literally flinched at the name. She lowered her head and closed her eyes shut, both of her hands fell to rest on his legs now as she still knelt before him. This was the cutout. The mistake that she would never forgive Joao for, and deep down she knew that
she had something to do with this punch, she might've caused the Slytherin to bottle up his feelings until finally flinging them at Adam like this. "
I can't believe it..." she murmured to herself before looking back up into Adam's eyes, her own blue eyes hurting for him.
"
Adam, tell me it wasn't me that you fought over." She straightened herself and placed one hand on his good cheek, staring at the bruise on his other side of the face. "
Tell me you fought over some other girl, or got into a heated debate." Because if she was the reason then... she had to fix it.
And she knew only one way to do that.
Louisa did not want to go down that road.
