He promised to leave me alone, but that was a lie. I should have known hed have this pull on meseeping through my skin and into my bones, burning me from the outside in. Its just like when we were kids, and I can no longer avoid him. Ive accepted it, but what will it take to convince him that I am no longer his? Is that really what I want? I told her Id leave her alone. But who was I kidding? Ive never been one to back away from a challenge. He stole my girlmy futurefrom me. Im coming back with a vengeance. Im taking back what he took from me. After all the secrets and lies, can we come back from this? Even if it breaks me, Ill stop at nothing to protect whats always been mine.
