"It's not the pain that ruins us. It's the things we do to avoid that pain, you just need to face it." I tell him running my fingers through his wet hair.

A fire ignites in his eyes and he pushes me off of him, my hand falling to my side. His jaw hardens and his nostrils flare.

"Who are you to comment on my pain and what I should do with it? You think everyone doesn't have demons that they don't want to face? You think it's that easy right?" His voice raises an bit higher as he stares me down.

"Yes, once you-"

"Oh give it a break princess," he laughs cutting me off, "you think you see the world so clearly when in truth all you see is yourself!"

A fire burns deep in my heart at his assumption, and I get up throwing the damp towel on the floor, "How can I see the world clearly when you've clouded my vision? All I see, hear and smell is you! And if I could only see myself, I'd see myself as a damn idiot for thinking you could be loved by me!"

His eyes widen for a second before he blinks and turns away from me, facing the window.

"Well that was a huge mistake on your behalf, loving a person who can't even love himself."
