He will not go away until he gets what he wants. Now, things are even worse because Jodi and Maza may get hurt. I feel so helpless and weak - yet being here in Diana's arms give me hope. He may be back, but she is here, having her here makes me feel safe. Am I being selfish for wanting her to stay with me? Am I putting her at risk? I push myself away from her embrace. "Why are you doing this? Why are you here?" I asked her. It was not making sense to me at all.. We were basically strangers to each other. Why would she risk herself for me? She seemed to be caught off guard with my question but she regained her composure. She cupped my cheeks and looked at me straight in the eyes. "Because I want to, Franki." I didn't know how to react. We just stayed like that for a long time. We stared at each other like it was only us that matters. "I don't understand, Diana. Why do you want to be with me? I'm a mess. I'm broken. It's not going to be easy and you know that. You might even get hurt. I don't know if I want to risk that." I looked at her with both awe and confusion. "But I do Franki, I don't mind being put at risk if it means I would be able to protect you." 'I can't even begin to imagine having her heart, let alone breaking it. I know I will never do it on purpose, that I am sure of.- Diana
