Hunter:
She loves me. I was so shocked when she said it, so shocked I was rendered speechless. Never in a million years did I expect those words to come out of her mouth, especially after the way I left her last night and the way I just yelled her. I'm not sure what to do next. She's leaving it up to me and allowing me choose whether or not I walk away from her forever. She's all in. I want to be all in, I do, but I'm too afraid of hurting her. After I left her last night I came home and continued to drink unable to sleep as I kept picturing that hurt look in her eyes as I told her I couldn't do this. God I want her but knowing that she's lost someone like I have makes me realize just how fragile and broken she is on the inside. Just like me. I don't want to make that worse and if she's with me my self-destructive instincts are bound to take over and I'll hurt her. The way I've been living my life for the past two years proves that I'm going to die young and I can't do that to her. I can't let her lose someone else that she loves.
So change.
Can I though? Can I change? Can I become the type of guy she deserves? Can I protect her and make sure she's safe everyday for the rest of her life like I want to?
You can try.
I spend the rest of the day having this internal debate. One side telling me I can do this, that I can change and be the right guy for her because I care about her so damn much. The other side telling me that no matter how hard I try I'll never be good enough because she deserves better than some guy who killed three people. At the end of the day though I know one thing's for sure I can't let her go. I need her and I want her. Hell, I might just love her.
