“I hate what you’ve turned me into. What you’ve turned us all into. You had no fucking right to come into our lives and wreck us the way you did.”
“Then finish it.” She insists, reaching for my hand and wrapping it firmly around her throat. “If that’s what you really want, I won’t stop you.”
“God, I’ve missed you, P.” He confesses, breathing the words into my neck. I missed you too, I want to say, but I hold myself back. I can’t say things like that to them anymore.
“Princess.” He says sternly, glaring down at me. “If you’re going to have a fucking pity party, have one in my arms. It’s cold up here and I need to remind myself that that motherfucker can’t get to you anymore. That you’re with me now, and that you’re safe.”
“I don’t know why you did it, or if you even meant to do it, but on the night we first met, when you looked up at me, it was the first time I didn’t see the look of fear staring back at me. You saw something else in me. What? I’m not sure, but it felt good and that was… unexpected. After that, something inside me shifted. I found myself wanting to be different. Better. Kind. The type of man that deserves to be with someone like you. I know I’ll never be a good man, a man that wants you for all of the right reasons, and says all the right things, but for you, I’m willing to try. If you’ll let me.”
“Because no matter how much you try to change them, no matter how much you think you love me. A monster is still a monster. They can’t love you back. All they’ll ever do, all they can ever do, is destroy you.”
