“don’t do that. don’t shut me out.”
THE WORDS STING far more than he ever thought they would. shutting people out has been one alex’s worst qualities since what he did. but it’s just to keep them safe. jess has to live with enough trauma the last thing she needs is to deal with his shit too. ❛ jess it’s just to protect you. i’m sorry. ❜ when he remembers that night, he can hardly breathe. on top of everything else he’s done. & how that affected everyone around him. it’s his responsibility to not cause further damage. & despite how hard he’s tried, he always manages to fuck it up. the burden he’s given jess to carry is unfair to say the least. ❛ i don’t even know why you want to talk to me anymore. i’m fucked up, jess. you know that more than anyone. ❜
