These were the most words I’d ever heard from him, and they were…hitting hard. “So, you think you’re the only one with the right to make me hate myself?” “Yeah!” he shouted as if that made sense. “Yes. If anyone is going to fuck with you, it’s me. I want that role.” He took a few more steps, getting closer to me, absolutely brimming with rage. “And the fucked up part is, I want to protect you from everyone else.”
“So don’t fucking push me to know what label to slap on this. I don’t know the damn answer. I just want to hate you, have you, fuck you, and fight with you. That’s it. That’s what this is for me.”
