wasn’t how it was supposed to be. I swore I wouldn’t take her until she begged me to, but I’d fucked

it all up. I let my anger get the best of me. She’d kept testing my self-control. I thought we were finally

getting somewhere. I could only imagine what she was thinking. My actions had confirmed her

clearly because I think this advice will be actually helpful.” She jumped out of the bed and walked

heavy footed over to where I sat and stood in front of me.

“There is no me and you. There is no happily-ever-after for people like us. I’m messed up,

and you’re even more messed up in the head than I am.” She bent and waited for our eyes to meet

before speaking again. “I will never be with you like you want. I won’t ever love you. I don’t know
