*Looks back out the window because for some reason that hit him harder than it should have* I was really just a mistake for you, wasnāt I? I mean I know it shouldnāt hurt as much as it does, but it is really kicking my heart in the ass. *keeps talking as if this...
I don't want you to want to run away, though, Brick. I want you want this completely. I can't let myself get hope again because the last time I did it only backfired. They found someone better. I didn't even get a fucking chance to prove anything to them and they left. And it was someone I never thought would leave me. The fact that you want to run away from what we could have before we even have had it scares me. A lot. *Gently tilts Brick's chin up so their gaze meets again* You seriously need to want this, Brick, because a lot of shit is going to follow if anybody ever finds out. And I don't want to deal with that if you don't truly feel like I am the one you want around all the time. But if I am. I'd make damn fucking sure that no asshole ever trashed you. I'd defend up through thick and thin. But I can't fight it alone.
