"Im going to fucking break you" Reston seethed.
"Please. Please. Please. I beg you. Don't hurt me." I cried taking steps back.

"You stupid fuck. You're just straight up asking me to hit you. Do you even fucking know what I want to do to you??" Reston screamed in my face pushing back my shoulders in a vice painful grip making me face him.
"I'm just asking you to not punish me like you always do. Tell me how is it my fault? Why am I the one being distanced?" I asked with wide and teary eyes.
"It's the distance that bothers you??" He narrowed his eyes with his grip only getting tighter.
"You let all my efforts go down the drain because of someone else and it's not fair to me. You punish me for my mistakes and I take it. But I didn't even do anything Reston, I was trying to make you happy all this time and yet you choose to only make me feel miserable." I sobbed, my lips trembling.
"Why do you want to make me fucking happy Blair? How is that any of your fucking concern?" His grip loosened but he shook me. I was getting frustrated. My guts were vibrating with fear.
"Is it not? You're going to ignore me all month, hurl insults and hurt me for what? Because mom's fighting with you? I'm happy when you're happy and fucking dejected when you're not." He completely let go of me as I spoke. My heart shuddering, I know. I know it's coming. The ignorance. The desertion. The humiliation. It's all coming.
"You beg me to leave you alone and now you're saying otherwise." He grunted with sick disgust. Oh lord. I'm not ready please.
"When you do leave me alone, I feel exhausted with not having your company. You're my everything Reston. Stop abandoning me everytime. I'm tired of being .. left alone." I confessed despite my pride. I had never admitted that it hurts me infact I tried to not say anything at all. Maybe he can have a change of heart if I tell him?
"Blair shut the fuck up. Don't fucking demand that shit from me. I owe you nothing. The fuck do you know about abandonment princess." My lips twitched as I fought to not cry. Because he meant I didn't lose a mother and a sister so my pain doesn't count? I lost plenty someone's.
I was deeply hurt by Reston's harsh words. It was the usual but after every cold War, he came back caring. When the steam was out, he was nice. Tears streamed down my face as I slowly retracted and ran out of his room and back to my own with my broken heart. He refuses to accept me.
The weight of his words pierced my heart, and I couldn't bear the thought of him reverting back to his cold and humiliating self tomorrow. What do I know about abandonment? What else have I ever received except this feeling. And most of it was from Reston. The pain of being ignored and made to feel unworthy consumed me, and I couldn't help but cry uncontrollably.
Suddenly, I heard a knock on my door, and my mom entered my room. She asked if she could come in, and I made space for her on the bed as I sat on the study chair. She could see that something was wrong and asked if everything was okay. In that moment, all I could think about was pleading with her to not fight with Reston. I begged her to keep quiet if she had any issues with him because I couldn't bear the distance that it created between us.
