Prologue
"Avery, give me the chance to show you, you deserve better. You deserve better than the best. Let me be the one to show you your worth. Don't keep letting him treat you like this, like you're nothing and you're lucky to have him, when in reality, HE'S the lucky one. Don't let him put it in your head that you can't get anyone else because you're worthless, and you deserve to be unhappy. That's not true. If he doesn't see you as beautiful let me, because I do. I know that being perfect is impossible, but you're my perfect. You're perfectly imperfect, and that's what I love. Let me be the guy to sweep you off your feet. Be my princess, and let me love you. That's all I ask, that's all I want. I want to love you and have your love in return. I know you love me, you're just scared to be without him because he put it in your head that you can't get better, that you need him to live. It seriously pains me to see you like this, thinking so low of yourself because that's what he's been putting in your head.... but that far from true. All I'm asking is for a chance to show you he is wrong. Just say yes, that's all I need to hear from your lips. I don't know what I would do if you said no, because I know we belong together. I've known ever since I first laid my eyes on your eyes. Don't let him ruin what could be between us." It replays in my head over and over. I listened to what he told me, I really did. It's just.. it's just so hard to put that I'm beautiful and perfect in his eyes, when for so many years I've heard that I wasn't. And when coming from a family where every single person is so beautiful and you're just the odd one, it's harder than you think. I can't just control my brain into thinking I'm beautiful because he tells me. Though, I have to admit, it feels beyond amazing hearing those words from him. He was right about one thing, I love him. I'm in love with him, but I can't leave Omar. As much as I'd love to just be with Niall, it's not that simple. Omar would kill Niall before I could even be with him. Why was life so complicated, why couldn't I just run away with Niall right then and there. I was stupid to let him go, but I knew it's for his own protection.
