"who broke you like this Maya?, who made you think you're worth nothing?, who made you hate yourself, who made you think you aren't beautiful?, because hell, darling, you're so fucking beautiful, prefect in every single way", his green eyes burn into mine.
"you're wrong", I choke out, "I'm not any of those things Lucas, I'm worthless, waste of space, pathetic, ugly, fat, depressed, lon-", he cut me off by covering my mouth with his palm.
"stop, okay?, just stop Maya, don't you ever say things like that about yourself, do I make myself clear?".
another tears slid down my cheek and he caught it with his fingers then cup my face.
"you're so beautiful", he whisper stroking under my eyes with his fingertips, "and god those eyes, they're angle eyes, i'm going to fix you Maya hunter heart, even of it takes me my life, I will".
