TW: Mild Physical Abuse and Threats of suicide

"I don't know when things stopped working. Maybe they never worked in the first place, and I naively believed that it was love. Maybe I let jt get so far because I thought its what girlfriends abd boyfriends did. Maybe he reminded me of my father. Most likely it was my desire to be loved that clouded my judgement." I rambled

"Hope we don't need to figure that out right now just tell me your story." Emma requested.

"Ok" I. inhale the now stale office air. " I guess it all started a couple weeks after... Landon and his brother Raf came to the Salvatore School. He was charming and he seemed like such a sweet guy. He worked at the grill and he always smiled at me whenever I came jn the shop. He just seemed like such a nice guy....." I zone out on my thought.

"What was it like when you were dating him? Where there any red flags you noticed?" Emma encourages

"I don't know.. " I answer blankly.

"How about you just tell it from the beginning." She adjusts her notebook and places my school file underneath it.

"Ok" I take a slow deep breath in." I guess I should start it just a bit before things fell apart."

" You can't keep going on these missions alone with Mr.Saltzman they are dangerous and its not like he's going to be able to protect you." Landon argues while I try to pretend I'm more focused on putting away laundry.

"Landon I can protect myself  I'm the tribrid after all." I respond putting my clothes back into the dresser.

" You're not the full tribrid yet you haven't turned." He argues with a less rational tone then before.

" If I do turn I'll just comeback stronger its not a big deal landon" I sit on my bed while he paces annoyed by my lack if care.

"If you turn inti the full tribrid what even would be the point anymore." Landon exhuastedly rubs his forehead.

"'Don't talk like that landon,you would still have me." I hold his hand but he yanks it away.

" We wouldnt be able to have a family for starters" He looks up at me.

"Landon we can still have a family even if I don't have a baby, its just like you and Raf you're not related but you're family." I try to rationalize.

"That's different and you know it." He shoots back.

"Landon it is extremely probable that I will turn before I ever am ready or even considering having children. We are seventeen can't we just be satisfied with eachother" I stroke his cheek.

He rips my palm off his cheek angerly

" You are just fine with dying, you won't even live for me" he squeezes my hand tightly.

" Landon you're hurting my hand"I try to yank it away but he just won't let me go.

"Since you don't care about your own body." Before I can figure out what he's doing he breaks my fingers and I yelp out in pain.

" I swear to god I'll kill you and myself if you go on one of those missions again." He spits.

I nod with tears in my eyes.

"You didn't think that was a red flag" she looks up from her notebook.

" Well not at the time I just thought he was being romantic or dedicated thats why I didn't immediately snap all of his limbs. I just thought he wanted me to know how painful this would be..."

"Hmmmm." Emma takes down a couple notes." What happened next?"

"I avoided going on missions. I didn't want landon to kill himself...then. I probably should have started my story here but I guess the last bit was context-" I start to ramble.

"Just start again I promise no more interuptions" Emma switchs pens.
