''I have lost so much. I have been hurt so much. I have shed to many tears. I have hurt to many people. You can't love me'' I yelled. I was crying now and mascara was proably dripping down my face. ''Besides....I live in hell'' I added.
He stared at me for a while. Then her grabbed my hand. I pushed him away from me. ''I don't care what you did, Selena. I still love you'' he said. I winced. That word....Love. From him, from anyone other then my parents and siblings?
I frowned and backed away slowly.
''You can't love a person who lives in hell. You can't love a person who hates living'' I screamed at him, tears still pouring out of my eyes.
I began walking at a fast pace, away from him. I didn't want to say anything else that will hurt him because truthfully, I do love him, but I will hurt him. I have gotten myself into alot and he doesn't need to be apart of it either. I protect those I love from living with me in hell.
''I don't care'' I heard him yell behind me.
