Ninjago: My dark secret

Pheobe's prospective
I wasn't nervous to tell Zane that Jason was my ex, there was more to the story.... much much more. By now, I could feel tears streaming down my face. Zane didn't ask me to tell him while I cried into his chest. I guess he figured it was best not to until I calmed down. After a little while, I looked back up at Zane. 'Zane is the most understanding person, he won't leave you for this small thing' I told myself. "Zane there is something I haven't told you.

Zane's prospective
Pheobe is a really sensitive person but I could tell what she was about to tell me serious. "Zane there is something I haven't told you" she said looking away. I wasn't quite sure what to say. Pheobe sighed "I'm sacred that you'll look at me differently, if I tell you". more tears began to stream down Pheobe's face. I was shocked, she thought something she'd say would change the way I look at her. I tilted her head toward me, "whatever it is, I promise it won't". She was hesitant, but she continued to tell me.

Pheobe's prospective
Looking into Zane's eyes calmed me down and it made me realize that Zane wouldn't just leave me. He may be shocked, but he wouldn't leave me. "Jason..... is my.... um... my ex boyfriend". That wasn't the part that bothered me though.

Zane's prospective
I was shocked, but obviously I'm not the only person she has dated. But I was confused on why she was scared to tell me. Why she was scared that would change the way I looked at her. There had to be something else. "That's not the part you're scared to tell me, is it?"
I questioned. Her eyes started to tear up again. Pheobe rubbed her eyes and shook her head. I put my arm around her waist, hoping it would comfort her.  She laid her head on my shoulder and continued "Jason wasn't just your average normal ex that you break up with because he cheated on you or he's just a dick". I pulled her in a little closer as she explained. "While we were together,.. he um.. he abused me......".
Everything made sense now. Why Pheobe is so sensitive. Why was extremely cautious with me when we first met. And why she broke down crying at Jason's headcouters and didn't fight back. I was quick to say something back. "Pheobe..." she looked up at me again.

Pheobe's prospective
'Oh god, he doesn't want to be with me anymore.... I knew it' I thought. But how could I be mad at him, I wouldn't want to deal with that. But to my surprise, he said something I thought he wouldn't. "Pheobe" I looked up at him again with tears in my eyes. "That doesn't change anything between you and me, it doesn't change the way I look at you... I love you" I stared crying even harder. That wasn't all I need to tell him.
