"I'm a monster." Keith said.


I sat down beside him on the couch and put my arm around him.


"No your not." I said soflty.


"I smoke a pack of cigarettes a day so what do you know?" Keith defensively said.


"I know that you're a good guitar player." I said.


"NO. I'M A MONSTER!" Keith yelled.


"Why do you keep saying that?" I asked.


"That's what they label me Amelia!" Keith exclaimed.


"Who?" I asked.


"Mick, Brian, ask anyone in the band what I am!" Keith yelled.


"Oh Keith, honey...I am so sorry." I said moving closer to hold him.


"Ah don't feel sorry for me." Keith said.


"Why...I love you." I said.


"I don't love me. I HATE ME." Keith said getting up and facing me.


Keith got the book on the coffee table and threw it across the room. I was shocked. I never saw him act like this before.


I stood up and walked behind him touching his shoulder.


"You should never hate yourself, no matter what you do. There's always going to be ups and downs. It depends on how you handle them. Just know that I love you." I said.


"I know you do." Keith said.


His back still turned to me. I loved him and he definitely wasn't a monster.
