She mistook his love for possession, his care for obsession and all the words he gently whispered to her in between as accusations. So she fled with her heart and his. She fled because that's the only thing she was good at. She didn't think she was worthy of love. Not after everything that happened to her. Not after everyone she deeply cared about was taken from her, one by one.
Love betrayed her before. It surely will betray her this time too. So she betrayed love before it even did, not knowing that it would have never had.”
