CHAPTER 384 WRONG WORDS 2

  I sigh.

  "I want her to be with you." She says to me while placing her hand over my hand.

  I pull my head up to my little sister and asked her, "Why do you like her?"

  "Because she made you feel alive again. She was the?only?woman who made you smile like that. And I like that smile Benzzo." Bethany's answer felt like it struck my bones.

  She smiles warmly. "You like Thea. Hell, you're just denying to yourself that you love her."

  I laugh at the word love.

  I sigh inwardly. "I will fight for her when everything is assured about myself."

  I moved my head to Bethany and added, "I just need time to solve myself."

  She rolls her eyes. "You're like a jagged world map puzzle. Too difficult to fix, too confusing to solve and too hard to find."

  I grin.

  "You know, keeping you here was a good thing after all." I say.

  Bethany laughs right away and starts leaving me. "I told you. You need me more than you'll ever know."

  I smirk as I continue washing the dishes.
