There’s no doubt it was always you. // The thought of losing you is all too much. // Some days I feel broken inside, but I just don’t want to admit it. // Can’t you just listen to me!?
There’s no doubt it was always you.
Kenna gave her girlfriend a half smile, taking her hand in hers. “So all those years talking about how cute the boy next door was, was simply just a ruse to keep me from realizing those heart eyes were just reserved for me, huh?” She chuckled, her arms wrapping around Nova’s waist and pressing a kiss to her forehead. “I may not have always realized you were who I wanted, but you’re all I can see in my future. I don’t want anyone else but you there with me, walking through the rest of my life, the ups and the downs. You’ve been with me through so much already, I’m sort of a fool for not realizing it sooner. I love you, Nova Lopez. So damn much.”
The thought of losing you is all too much.
Alena looked down with tears in her eyes. “This is why I didn’t want to do this in the first place!” She shook her head. “I told you. We can’t live without each other, Wes. And now you’re better, and I’m worse, and I’m going to die. We can’t avoid that. I’m going to die, and I’m going to die soon. And then what happens to you? Do you just keep going on, broken inside, feeling like something is missing for the rest of your life? Or are you going to be the next heartbroken story on TV, the young boy who lost the love of his life to the battle with cancer, only to lose the battle within and who falls to his inner demons?!” She sniffled. “I love you. But this…this was a bad idea.”
Some days I feel broken inside, but I just don’t want to admit it.
“We’re all a little broken inside.” Tyler shrugged, looking over at Jordyn. “Some of us have more reason than others. But it’s okay to admit it, J.” He gave her half a smile. “I feel broken inside most of the time. I wonder why my parents didn’t want me. Sometimes I feel like I’m not good enough. If I wasn’t good enough for the two people who brought me into this world, who am I good enough for?” He shrugged. “But then I just remember that maybe…I’m too good for them. And that’s why I got lucky and got out of a bad situation, before things got bad for me.” Gently, he placed a kiss to her forehead. “But you? No matter how broken you may feel, I’m always gonna try and put you back together.”
Can’t you just listen to me!?
“No!” Kinley whipped her head around and glared at Emmett standing three feet in front of her. “You listen to me. You don’t get to just waltz back here and pretend like nothing ever happened. Because something did happen. You got to pretend like I didn’t exist for two years. Two fucking years, Emmett. You want to tell me prison wasn’t a walk in the park? Well neither was sitting around, wondering what the hell I did so wrong to make you hate me so much that you didn’t even want to see me!” She felt tears coming to her eyes. “I promised myself I wasn’t going to cry over you anymore. I wasted enough tears on you. But the fact that you’re back now...fuck.” She wiped her eyes. “I hate you. More than anything. And I wish you would just leave and never come back. It was easier when I thought that’s how life was going to be.”
