“You don’t love me because you can’t!” He was so much stronger than me that I couldn’t break free no matter how hard I tried. “Do you hear me? You fucking can’t!” “I do, I do,” Hugh continued to whisper over and over, while he fused my back to his chest, my arms pinned to my sides. “I love you, and you can’t make me stop.” “You’re his friend, not mine!” I lashed out, desperate to prove myself right. Because he would leave me, too. That’s all I knew for sure in this life. Nobody stayed.
