Torment: Part Two (The Bleeding Hearts, #2)

by Dylan Page

“You killed people. You isolated me from anyone and everyone else so I had no one, either, Shay. You stole my dreams away!” “I just wanted you-” “Shay, you’re fucking killing me!”

“I’ve always been selfish with you. I broke you. I never wanted this. And now, I’m going to let you go, because it will keep you safe.”

“I hope one day, you’ll forgive me, Sweetness. I never wanted to hurt you. I just… I-” his breath releases in a shuddering gasp, “I wanted us to be forever…”

“There is no timestamp on trauma. There isn’t a formula that you can insert yourself into to get from horror to healed. Be patient. Take up space. Let your journey be the balm.”
