Dear World,
She came over today.
It's not the first time she's come over. It's just the first time she's come since we started being together.
We were laying on my bed talking about the future when she rolled over and kissed me.
She winced when I touched her.
I thought it was my fault.
But it wasn't.
She had a bruise on her ribs, where I touched her.
Her dad gave it to her after she told him that she loves me. He'd been beating her since before then but now it was worse. Her mom doesn't do anything to stop it. She just turns up the TV volume.
I cried.
She cried.
How could someone be so cruel?
She said that it wasn't my my fault but I just realized now that it is.
If I never told her that I liked her.
If I never started to like her in the first place.
I'm the reason that she's being hurt.
Maybe she'd be happier without me.
Maybe.
-Me
