Chapter 57

"But that's why I did get jealous and freak out on you, Tanya. I'm in fucking love with you. I'm a Goddamn moron when it comes to relationships and even I know that there isn't a rulebook or guideline on how long you have to wait before your love for someone becomes legitimate. And I understand that what I say and do don't always align and that I don't always treat you how I should - trust me, I hate myself enough for the both of us on that one - but that doesn't mean you get to discredit my feelings for you. You've been trying so hard to convince me that I don't love you, but this entire time the only one you were really trying to convince was yourself." He stated confidently while pointing my way.

"I was not." I spat back defensively, feeling the brittle and weak pieces of my protective wall I'd built around my heart chip away piece by piece.
