What was he talking about? I had no choice.

I couldn't manage to look at him anymore. Not right now. I went to turn off the lamp by his bed.

Let's get this over with.

Mr. Leto felt his way through the dark and wrapped his hands around my waist and his lips followed suit.

I couldn't hold it in. I was too overwhelmed. I felt hot tears caress my face as they trickled down my cheek.

Mr. Leto stopped and reached over me to turn the lamp on. He took my head in his hands.

"Shh, don't cry honey. It's going to be okay. Dry your tears." He spoke calmly in my ear, unaffected by my pain. He began to kiss the tears that had fallen down my face.

I tried to wipe them away, but they continued to come crashing down like how I felt my life was crashing.

"Shh..." he hushed me in between kisses.

It was no use. I couldn't stop them from flowing now.

"Shh...shh..." he hummed softly as he held me in his arms.

"Look at me...Look at me, Kerri."

I slowly rolled my head up, ,evened with his eyes.

"Just do what I ask baby, and you'll be fine." He sternly cajoled me. "You know I did this because of you, Kerri. It's all for you." He lowered his head, pointing his finger right at my chest.

I slowly shook my head in disagreement absentmindedly as I tried to gather my thoughts for a response.
