She loved me. Blair had never said those words to me, it was the way she stared at me. How she became so choked up within a simple conversation. I knew she loved me because I loved her, too, and wanted to tell her. I wanted to scream the shit, and fear prevented me from doing that. It prevented me from doing a lot of things that my heart desperately wanted, and my heart wanted her.
release him from the shackles of fear
