Mark's POV
It's been a week since Amy's ex showed up. We've been spending time together since she came home and I've taken a small break off Youtube. But today we've both decide it was time to sit down and talk.

"So how did you two meet?" I started off with a simple question hoping to ease into things and not jump straight in and demandingly question her.

"I was 16, we'd gone to the same high school together but he dropped out. Our relationship was on and off. My friends always told me he wasn't good for me, but I was stuck in this cycle of always running back to him."

"How long were you together"

"I ended it when I was 22. 6 years. Then I decided to move to LA to get away. He was arrested, so I took the chance to run whilst he was in prison. I guess he found me again."

"How did you get into drugs." I asked slowly, I got this far, i didn't want to push her away.

"When I was 19, we went to a party. He had always been an addict since we met. It only started getting worse the longer we were together. I tried it the once at the party and hated myself after, but he came home everyday and pushed me into getting high with him. Eventually I was the addict too. He got arrested for drug possession before I ran away to LA and whilst out here I got the help I needed and then a year later... found you I guess. You changed my world. You actually loved and cared for me Mark. I never had that before. That's why I was so scared to tell you as it was so soon. I love you!"

"I love you too. I'll help you, I promise" I was so shocked that she had gone through this and thought of myself selfish that I hadn't helped her. I promised her I will help her from now. And whatever comes in the future, we will face it together.

"You're so strong Amy, I can't believe you made it through after 6 years of abuse." I hugged her as she cried into my shoulders. "I will never let you down again".
