“That'll heal too,” he said in steady, soothing voice. “In time, everything does. You’ll either find a way to let it go or you’ll learn to live with it.”
“Mine, Mine, Mine! “ insert seagulls from Finding Nemo
That scar had already disappeared into my skin long ago, leaving no trace of its existence except for in my haunted memories.
Trace pumped his jaw,
How does one pump one's jaw?
“Why do you insist on lying to yourself?”
“Because I’m good at it and it’s how I cope with things I’m too afraid to face.” I seriously couldn’t stop.
“Because I am ruinously in love with you.”
I am not just a monster, but a man telling a woman that he loves her.”
He caressed my cheek with the back of his knuckles as his eyes softened in a way I had never seen from him before. Adoration. Desire. Helplessness.
Crap on a cracker.
The past was a twisted tale of horror that he kept hidden inside of him like a second heart, and I had to make peace with the possibility that I may never see it.
It was through his undying love for her that I learned forgiveness. And from that forgiveness, I had found peace.
Could I trust the path before me or would I find myself amongst smoke and mirrors once again?
Her expression was one of disbelief, of shock and confusion, and then all life disappeared from her eyes as I grabbed her shoulder and drove the stake into her heart. No words. No warnings. No goodbyes. I let her body tumble to the ground before me and I vowed that it would be the last time I’d ever look at that monster again.
SPELL. IT. THE. FUCK. OUT!”
I barreled through billowing flames and rain and hopelessness
But he didn’t falter. He didn’t let me go. He threw me over his shoulder and continued running, taking hit after hit as he drew us closer and closer to the forest. I wanted to scream at him that I hated him, that I would never forgive him for this, but I couldn’t speak through the anguish. I couldn’t pull in enough air between the desperate sobs wracking my body to utter a single word.
I knew I was going to have to be the one to kill him.
Well, that SUCKS🫠
