Washing off all of the blood I could see how badly he had messed up his hand and arm. I couldn't do anything but shake my head as I cleaned off the blood. I have no idea why he gets so angry, angry enough to hurt himself physically.  

"Okay you're all done, but you need to go to the hospital I'm pretty sure your hand is broken,". I tried to walk out of the bathroom right before Jace gently stopped me by grabbing my arm. 

"Can you please let me go?" I whisper.  He moved in front of me and lifted my head with his strong hand under my chin. He looked me in the eyes and I melted what has this man done to me?  I couldn't even be mad at him anymore. All of the anger that I had for him simply disappeared it was no longer there. 

"Kiss me" he whispered as he bent down to meet my lips with his. My heart beating out of my chest I gave in and we both met in the middle. His lips consuming mine I could taste peppermint gum still in his mouth that he was more than likely chewing earlier.

He tried to move his hands lower but I pulled away. I couldn't do this, I was not going to make an unhealthy way of resolving problems in this relationship by just making up with lust. "No Jace stop" he backed away and looked at me confused. 

"This right here is very unhealthy you think you can do whatever you want and talk to me however you want and just because you can make me feel good by doing things it's ok"

He looked at me confused and walked out of the bathroom. But it was true he was used to solving problems with sex and that's not what love is. It's so much more than that. 

"So you're telling me that I just ignore the problem and what "  he looked at me and shrugged his shoulders frowning. 

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you it's not okay that you solve all of your problems with sex or a form of sex, you need to learn how to communicate effectively with words." I followed him to his room. 

"Well, Aspen I can't use words ok I deal with my problems the way I know how and this is what I do, I fuck girls until I feel better and it seems to work for me so miss me with all that talk about your problems shit" I flinched at the words he was using. I couldn't believe what he was saying, was I just a "girl to fuck" to him that he can play with when he wanted. 

I nodded my head "Well if that's how you see this then it's done, whatever this was between us is done"  He turned and looked at me lost. No one has ever stood up to him and it was obvious but I refused to be with someone who just looked at me as an object. 

"Goodbye Jace"
