Aicha: Every bad thing thing that's ever happened to me

He holds her hand inter whining their fingers together

Aicha: ... I hate being in this house whenever he's here, I hate being in my room I hate sleeping on that bed and I hate seeing his face. I get so scared every time I'm not with you, and I know there's gonna come a time when we're gonna be apart and you won't be able to protect me anymore

Jacob: I'm always gonna protect you Aicha
Aicha: Your gonna get married and have kids and I'm just gonna be there in your shadow
