Without proofread :) enjoy

Author's POV:

Melissah looked in his eyes that were full of pure love,care and affection.her heart begun to beat faster than normal.she knew he was right.he never expected anything in return.he was happy or u can say more then happy just staying beside her.jackson was the only person she wanted to be with but her mind .. her mind couldn't allow her to ruin such an innocence.he was pure but .. she wasn't (<\3)

Her sobs begun to raise.she was confused.she couldn't understand what to do.she did not wanted to break his heart but she knew that she wasn't good enough for him.a person like jackson deserves a girl who can make him happy,who can make him smile,who can motivate him to cop with hardships,who knows how to live while melissah, she was damaged,destroyed and broken.she couldn't give him happiness,she couldn't give him what he deserves.

Her heart was telling her to grab this only ray of light while her mind was forcing her to stay in the dark.her heart wanted to feel again,to breathe again,to live again while her mind was being stubborn scared of being hurt again.her mind was telling her its okay to be alone,its okay to stay in dark,its okay to not to be hopeful.

Fighting the battle between her mind and her heart she grabbed jackson's hands from her face and placed them on his lap.

Melissah: "jac-ckson *sobs* you don-nt know anything about me *sobs* i-i am not what I appear to be."

Jackson: "whatever I know is enough for me to fall for you"

Melissah: "jackson why dont you understand?we dont belong togather" her heart crushed in her chest while she forced these words out of her mouth.

Jackson: "melissah" he again cupped her face forcing her to meet her eyes with his. "I know .. I know what you feel about me then why? .. why are trying to run away?why are you denying it?"

Melissah: "jackson i-i c-can't" she looked at him with her puppy eyes requesting him to stop all this.but jackson wasn't in a mood to let her go.

Jackson: "whats stopping you?" Jackson pleaded with his eyes as he was losing his patience but syill tried his best to stay calm.he knew she was in love with him then why is she refusing rn?

Melissah: "i-i .. I am not .. good enough for you"

Jackson was a bit shocked what he heard.he never thought that melissah would be insecure about herself.

Jackson: "who told you that?"

Melissah:" I know"

Jackson: "did I ever made you feel inferior?"

Melissah:"noo"

Jackson: "then what made you think like this?"

Melissah:" jackson i-i .. *sobs* I am not pure"

Jackson was a bit taken aback by her words."not pure" what was she trying to say?

Jackson:"what do you mean?" He asked in a low wisper.

melissah stayed silent,her eyes focused on the grass.

Jackson: "melissah please tell me .. you are making me worried"

Melissah stood up from the bench and enhaled a large amout of oxygen.

Melissah:"jackson I  was not being honest when I said that my parents died in a car accident .. they were .. they were murdered before my own eyes."

Jackson was shocked but he stayed silent.

Melissah:" I was 12 years old probably .. I was getting ready for my school when 5 men came around in our home and  forcefullycaptured my parents and begun dragging them out of our home.. I was told by my parents to run away but .. I couldn't" a lone tear slipped from her eye"how could I run ? Seeing my parents being dragged away ruthlessly? They captured us all and took us to an unknown place where they separated me from my parents.they begun to beat my father,i-i could hear everything through the door.they were shouting and dragging my father harshly.i prayed to the lord .. I prayed while crying for everything to get better.i thought everything would be Al right after sometime its just a scary dream .. I didn't lose hope .. I jept on praying .. until I heard gunshots.jackson .. I didn't wanted to open my eyes.. I didnt wanted to believe if its reality but *sobs* I had to .. their bodies were pushed infront of me.my parents .. my beautiful parents were laying in front of me .. covered in their blood .. their beautiful smile was missing from their face.that was the last time I saw my parents."

Jackson stood beside her staring into nothing,his mind trying to correspond to every single word she said.he knew something was wrong with her but never in his scariest dreams he had imagined she would have to go through such an experience.

Melissah:" after that their gang leader came to me .. and told me not to ever try to ditch him or else I would end up like my parents.jackson .. i-i  was hurt,I couldn't do anything for my parents" she rubbed her eyes drying out the tears."after that .. he begun to torture me ..he .. he r-raped me" she lowered her head not being brave enough to face jackson.

Jackson felt a current passed through his spine.he felt pained.what he felt was beyond words.he could never imagine how much melissah had gone through.he never wanted her to think about those times again yet he unknowingly forced her.he wished he could protect her from all the evil in this world.he grabbed her hand and sqeezed it gently trying to sooth her aching heart but deep  down he knew it wasn't helping at all because her wounds weren't going to heal.

After a small break melissah continued.

Melissah:"I was like a toy for him .. it became a part of routine .. he would hurt my body,beat the shit out of me,would torture me in the best way he could.but .. but I never pleaded infront of him.he wanted to feel satisfied .. seeing me beg ..b-b  begging for my freedom .. but I never satisfied his ego.I never lowered my eyes .. I never cried in front of him .. he was fed up .. fed up trying to control me trying to have an authority over me .. he then .. sold me to his partner overseas with alot of other innocent girls .. I still remember their innocent faces .. when we tried to run away .. I was able to excape while they all died .. struggling for their life"

Jackson hugged her from the back and his tears begun to slip away from his eyes.jackson stayed silent embracing her fragile body in his strong arms .. like he was trying to protect her .. like he was trying to make her feel at home .. like he was telling her .. that she is safe now .. that this is the place where she belongs to .. no one said a single word .. letting their heartbeat speak for each other's aching heart.
