"Wh...what?"
I stuttered
Inhaling her words.
She chewed on
The inside of her mouth
And frowned.
"I love you"
She muttered
"But I've been too afraid
To say it.
Ever since Brandon hit me
The first time
I was scared that
If I left him
Then he would go after me
Or even worse, you.
And I couldn't put
Either of us
In danger like that.
But Luke
Everything about you
Amazes me
Like the way you're
Always there for me
Even when I'm being a pain
And how you'd sing me to sleep
When I'm having a rough day.
You're the wings
And I need you to fly.
That's something that
Brandon could never do.
I don't know if
I'm capable of love again
Because the last time
I thought I loved someone
It didn't turn out so well."
She smiled shakily
And my arms snaked
Around her waist
Pulling her in closer.
"I'll always be here for you
It's been horrible
Seeing you with him
And I can't help but blame
This all on myself
Because I should've been there
To protect you
But I wasn't.
Jessa
I love you
And I always have
And I always will
And I will help you forget
And I will help you love again."
