I laughed. "But you didn't. You didn't Jack and that's why I'm hurt. I'm not surprised at what you've done, it's not like this is the first time you've hurt me. I know what you do, I know your little games." I paused and choked back a sob, trying to look strong. Not for him, for me. "I'm angry at myself. I knew from the start that you were telling me lies. It was so obvious. But I kept telling myself 'don't fuck this up. You've just barely gotten him to yourself. Just go with it or else you'll lose him again.' And I did everything for you. Everything I wanted, things that I really, did not want to do. I put your wants and your needs and your everything before mine. I told myself that I was happy, that I wasn't uncomfortable and I told myself that it was real. That we were real.

And I pretended that it was okay."
