Scars. All over. Each and everyone. Intense pain. They sting. They taught her, they taught Sallie, they taught me. Hate accelerated from every whip. She did it. The marks. The thudding whips that landed brutally onto my skin. She made them appear. She claimed to love me. But I claimed she hated me. Scars? How are they filled with love? When all you feel is a throbbing burn from the flames of the place of suffering and agony. And once they infect you there is no turning back. I left without what I wanted. But not anymore....

Ash's Darling | ✔
"Mae, show me." He demanded. I knew this would come up someday. My scars are from years ago when I wasn't happy with myself, or happy with anything really. I'm better now but I still don't like showing them to people. Most people ignore them but I knew once Ash saw them that he was going to ask. "Mae." He says again. What if he doesn't like them? What if he thinks they're ugly? What if he hears the story of them and decides he doesn't want me anymore? What do I do then? ... I slowly took off my jacket and showed him my wrist. "Why would you ever do that darling?" Tears started forming in my eyes. "I'm sorry. It was years ago when I wasn't happy and it's a long story." "Darling, look at me." He told me, lifting my chin. "I'm not mad at you. How long has it been since you've done that?" "Five years." "That's amazing, Mae." "You don't hate them?" "I hate that you felt the need to do that, but no, I don't hate them." He kissed my forehead, calming me down.Complete
