FORGOTTEN THE TASTE

AND THE SMELL

OF THE WORLD THAT HE

LEFT BEHIND. 

.

"and that's why it was so difficult. 

when max left, i had literally nothing, 

she was the only thing happy i had in 

my entire life. i've had eating disorders

since i was little because of my mother

and i've had constant anxiety because

of my father. i think he hated me most. 

but i was lucky enough because it seemed

as though he hated my mother more. 

i got everything. in his will, including his house, 

which is still mine, completely paid off. i don't 

know why i didn't stay there. but i needed to 

be out of the place that was the center of

everything i hated so much. 

i just shut myself off, shut everyone out, 

i packed a small bag, got all my accounts in 

order so i was set for life, basically. and left. 

i would flirt with older men that would buy me pink 

and fruity drinks. my lips were always sinfully red. 

that's why when i became a stripper my name was the same. 

i didn't tell the other guys this, i think it's a little degrading. 

i was also deemed 'ms don't touch me' by the customers. 

they were never allowed to touch. 

but when i left, when i left i lost myself in the sex, and drugs

and the older men i had an affinity for.

i smoked all the time to get rid of the pain i held in my heart, 

and as they pounded into me, i was numb. 

i always used protection though, i wasn't stupid, you know?

and then i left it all, the glorious parties, the men. i was

done with my gluttony and selfishness. i think i deserved it...

i knew i deserved it."

i swallow.

"then i met liam, and everything changed"

i looked at louis, who was watching me. 

my

heart

is

going

to 

fall

out

of 

my

chest. 

"you're stronger than you admit, harry.

and you did deserve it, but now,

you deserve something more." 

and he kisses me. 

the

kiss

is

so

beautiful.

he

is

right.

he

is

right.

"be selfish"

he breathes on my lips.

"be selfish with me"

i blink,

and slot my lips

nto his

without another word.
