My heart slams against my chest somehow, knowing it is going to get nasty from here. “Us,” he goes on saying, “She is like me- we have to- too many inner battles-”
“Shh,” I croon, instantly by his side, with him in my arms. ‘No- he can’t possibly think this way!’
“It’s not so bad. I love you despite it all Damian, believe me- if I wanted to leave you, I would have!” I assure him, pulling him into a tighter embrace. If only he knew that I know about him and his crew that go around beating up people. “I’m never leaving you- even if you want me to.”
Feeling his body shake, I know he’s laughing but not because he thinks I am being funny but because he has confidence in me...a knowing mocking laugh. His next words confirm that.
“I know, but not everyone is you. Not everyone is lucky as me.”
