"I don't need you to protect me," Cuore whispered.
"I... Cuore please look at me." I begged. She slowly sat up on the bed to face me. A single tear ran down her cheek and I quickly caught it before it fell.
"You want to protect me but you hurt me, Tay..."
"I hurt you," I repeated gently. I had to say it out loud to make myself realise it was true. I hurt her. Those words hurt me more than anything. My heart shattered as I looked into her eyes and saw anger.
"I show myself to you, then you run off. Do you know how that made me feel? I have scars yes, I'm broken and tormented by everything I have done... everything I have lost. Then you come here and just leave me when I'm ... vulnerable... exposed. Who the hell do you think you are?" She hissed.
"I... I..." I stuttered, I wasn't sure what to say.
"Fuck you, Taylen Nova."
