"Then why did you hurt me," I whispered, not being able to say it any louder.

His face softened as he stared at me. His hand reached up to my cheek and I didn't even stop him. It was too late. I was in love with him and now that he's admitted that he loves me, my heart had no strength to pull away.

"I didn't mean to, Angel," he whispered, his forehead resting on mine. My eyes fluttered shut, and my breathing was heavy.

"You knew what he did to me, you knew how much pain it caused me." I could feel myself crying and I hated that I couldn't be strong enough to stop myself. "Do you have any idea what I've been through?"

"I do, baby. I do."

"I thought he was the one who ruined my life, but it was actually you. You came into my life and destroyed me because now I can't live without you."

"Angel," he kissed me.
