Chapter 78

TRISTAN'S POINT OF VIEW:

Goddamn it. Why am I remembering that again? Even if that memory is scaring me off once more, I still won't change my mind because I've already decided.

I'm going to tell Justin about the truth. I'm going to tell him everything about myself. I'm going to tell him all of my problems, because I know that I might... no, I will really lose him if I won't.

I did tell Justin that if he ever has any problem or worry, he should tell me so I could share his burden, but I couldn't do the same to him. I grew up believing that if I told someone about my problems, I'd just give them a burden that they have nothing to do about, so I really didn't want him to experience what I felt before.

I was scared of telling him about what was bothering me lately because... I was afraid that he'd leave me, too, just like my mom did.

She hated me, and I didn't want Justin to hate me as well.
