{ADAM} Her words keep replaying in my head and it’s a f*****g loop I can’t cut. ‘Your love gives me nothing but a bunch of stupid, f*****g mountains of lies. Heartbreak. Tears. Trauma.’ Her voice when she said it totally f****d my life. Hearing her say that to my face… it felt like she was tearing my heart open with a piece of glass. The pain is fresh every single time I remember it. And I made her cry. Again. I stood there and watched her break down right in front of me, and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do to take that pain away. How the hell do I make her see? This love… it’s not a lie. It’s a f*****g disease. It’s eaten me alive. I can’t breathe without thinking of her, but my presence just suffocates her more. I heave out a tired sigh and pour the last drop of my bourbon
