“You deserve so much more than that, Ainsley,” Felix added, and I closed my eyes as a tear ran down my cheek. “You deserve to be loved and treated right. Dash didn’t do that, and neither did I as a friend. I know you’re still hurting, and I’m not sure those scars will ever fully fade for you, but please don’t do what I do. If you want to move on in whatever way, I’ll support you. But I am begging you, don’t do it just to stop the hurt. Because it’ll only make it worse, and I need it never to get worse for you. I don’t want you to lose yourself.”
