No matter what you say, it can’t take away the hurt. Once your words are out there, vibrating around in the mind of the person you didn’t mean to hurt… The damage is already done.

My life was never easy, and no matter what I did, I never felt like anyone would ever love me, until him.

Slayer Stanton.

Everything was great, until it wasn’t. Hiding my feelings, I kept my secret close, letting no one in. So when I moved away, I remained invisible, on purpose. He can’t know.

When life throws yet another stick in my gears, I’m reminded of all the beauty in the world. Everything blooms through her. Winter. Those eyes, all too familiar, staring up at me.

The day he walks back into my life, I never expect to accept him again. How could I when he betrayed me so deeply.

Do I push him away again?

Do I let him in?

Or, do I let him go, flying on the ride of his new NFL contract.

So why did I say those words to him?
