Fighting for Love

Chapter 12

Faith's POV:
I was sitting on the couch next to Jason watching Toy Story 2 with Darcy. She was sitting in front of the tv dazing into the moving pictures of the toys. Jason hand his arm wrapped around me and I was leaning onto his chest.
"Faith?" Jason asked whispering lowly.

"Yes?" I whispered back "do you love me?" He asked seriously

I paused for a moment, why would he even ask that of course I love him. "Jason of course I love you, why would you ask that?" I told him backing up from his chest so I can meet his eyes. He removed his arm from me and looking down.

"I just feel like you deserve more." He answered "You are more than what I deserve Jason, I love you and nothing will change that." I told him lifting his head. "what about a leg, this wasn't in the plan I wasn't suppose to have metal as a leg, I was suppose to have to real legs." he said rubbing his face.
"Plans can change sometimes for the better, and a metal leg isn't that bad it shows what you have done for your country and the bravery you have, it shows how strong you are." I told him.
"No it shows how weak I am, it shows that my girlfriend,my family has to walk down the street with me avoiding the stares of people looking at my leg, giving me pity looks like if I'm a helpless child." He screamed out catching Darcy's attention.

"I'm sorry I didn't know you felt that way." I told him. "No one does!" he shouted pulling himself off from the couch quickly. He was about to storm off but as he took his first step his metal leg locked and he almost fell. Luckily he caught onto the couch and I had stepped up in time to catch some of his weight. "I'm fine." He smacked back shoving me off. My heart shattered a little bit. But I know he is in pain and needs sometime to heal.

"Jason, don't walk away, you hurt mom when you walk away." Darcy said walking towards us. "moms not here." Jason said quietly avoid eye contact with Darcy. "but Faith is and I saw Faith and mom crying yesterday, and they said they hate it when you walk off." Darcy said. I froze and stepped in.

"Darcy I think it's time for your nap, come upstairs, take your nap so you can be awake intone for dinner." I told her grabbing her hand.
"No, I can take care of my little sister I don't need your help, in matter of fact I DON'T NEED YOH SO WHY DON'T YOY SHOW YOURSELF OUT!!" Jason yelled yanking Darcy's hand away from mine. I gave him a long stare not believing his words "well go on." He said coldly turning away to the stairs. "Fine goodbye." I said holding back tears.

I walked out the door. And as soon as I got in my car I started to sob. I spent years of my life with Jason, I have helped him through hi recovery. And now he practically broke up with me. He hates me I was probably only making matters worst. I live Jason but I think he's just a little too broken to love back and to accept love so i think I might just leave him be for now anyways.
