He swallows, taking a small step forwards towards me, "I know it's really hard to believe my words right now. But I would never intentionaly hurt you like I did. I keep my promises, and I uphold them as much as I can. And I meant every word of my apology Eliza, back then at the rink, and now at your door."
 
"Your apology can't change the past, it can't heal the wounds you made." I reply quietly. 

"No, but time can. And I am going to do every fucking thing I can to prove to you how much I meant what I said." 

"It's a waste of time."  
 
"Not mine," He lets a singular heartbeat pass before continuing, "I think you're worth every second of it."

Before she can object, I carry on. 'Maya you are beautiful beyond perfection. You are strong. You are brave. You are funny. You are sweet. You are incredible. Look at yourself,' I nod down towards the scars on her arm and she slowly glances down at them before meeting my gaze again, 'those scars are beautiful. Do you know why?' I ask her. She wipes a tear from her already tear-stricken face before she shakes her head. 'Because every time you decided to do that to yourself, you didn't go further, you didn't end your life. You decided to carry on living even when you thought you couldn't manage it. Those scars right there,' I gesture to them again, 'show the battles you won against yourself. They are your battle-scars and you shouldn't be ashamed of them. And you know what? I am so proud of you for making it to where you are today because you are a fighter and If I can see that, anyone can.'
