Love The Way You Lie

Haley's butt sat flat against the cool flamboyant bathroom tile, her back flush against the peeling white plaster wall as warm thick droplets continued to slip from her wounded chocolate eyes.
Arms wrapped around herself in comfort. The metallic taste was still thick and clogging in her mouth. Her breath came out in shuttered bursts in contrast to the continuous stinging from her split open lips and bruising mouth.
Haley could hear his heavy boots shuffling on the other side of the door, before the sound of his knock. His voice echoed her name through the door, only sound to be heard above her quiet tears.
When only silence lingered in response, she heard him crouch low to the ground, to be level with her on the other side of the door. "I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you." Dean's deep rough voice slipped past the old wooden door, and filtered into her ears.
More tears slipped free with his apology, one she knew came from the heart. His heart that loved her as much as part of it hated her.
Her heart constricted in her chest, broken from loving and hating him just as much.
His heavy breath found her ears, the heartache thick in it. "I'll never do it again." He promised in a deep whisper the way he always did.
Her tongue slipped along the broken slit in her lips as the pain made her feel alive. Hearing his voice, hearing his pain, it broke her down. Despite the tornado their relationship was Haley couldn't help the fact that she loved him more then breathing.
Slowly rising to her shaky feet, she could hear him doing the same on the other side of the door.
Grabbing the cool knob, Haley twisted, and pulled the door open. Piercing emerald eyes met her deep chocolate brown. Something pained and tortured filled his eyes with the sight of her, and the damage he caused. There was regretful sadness breaking in his orbs, as Dean held up a little pink teddy bear to mend her heart as if it could fix her face too.
Seeing his remorse blinding in his eyes, telling herself it wouldn't be there if he didn't love her, Haley gave in. Taking the teddy bear in her trembling hands, she pulled it close to her heart as she steadily stepped to him, letting Dean wrap her in his arms. Tight and safe… his again. The ugliness, the pain forgotten with I'm sorry as the sick rollercoaster starts all over again.
