"Let me be the one there for you" He whispers while holding me. I wipe the tears off my face.
"You don't want to get into this mess that I call a life" I reply, pushing out of his grasp.
He shakes his head. I never really depended on anyone else but myself. And that's the way it's always been and that's the way it's gonna stay. I don't want to drag him into my life, he's already got his own problems he doesn't need mine on top of his.
"Maybe I do" he says.
"No you don't! I cry myself to sleep every night wondering if it will ever get better. But it doesn't. Why would it?. Why would people stop calling me names?. Why would anyone stop physically and emotionally hurting me huh?" I exclaim.
"Hope I can save you from that stuff! I wanna be here for you when no one else is" he states.
"Well that's not gonna happen. I don't need anyone's help I can do this on my own, I can fight through the pain" I tell him.
"I want to protect you alright?" He says tiredly, I think he may be starting to give up on this whole situation.
"You don't need to".
"Why won't you let me?" He sighs.
"Because how can I know that I can trust you? What happens if you leave me and stomp on my heart like everyone else?" I say. I can feel the tears starting to fill my eyes.
"That won't happen Hope. I'll be here for you through your best times, worst times and hardest times no matter what. I will always be here I'll never do the things that other people have done to you" He replies.
"It's hard for me to let people in" I tell him.
"Well Hope, sometimes to find love and comfort you have to take the chances to see if you'll get it" he says.
I am really excited for this! I hope it's good so far! Comment below!
