Ars Amatoria Romance Challenge: Scars
By Angel Mouse
Bridge POV during Sam part one
You think I don't know that they are there. You think none of us notice how your shoulders droop slightly and your eyes cloud over when someone or something reminds you of your past. You think that only Jack knows how you feel and your secrets. You think you are good at hiding things behind your lively personality and fiery passion.
But I have seen the scars on your soul.
Why do people think, just because I can read aura's that's all I can do. My powers have been growing and you have been encouraging me. But what you don't know is that I have seen inside your soul, your heart and your mind and I know the scars you carry. And I try to lighten your burden as much as I can.
It was me that suggested to Syd you could use cheering up after you first got here and had nothing but the clothes on your back. Syd was quite happy to take some money from me to shout you new clothes and get you settled into your new life. It was me that supported you physically as best I could when we were trying to find Sam. And it was me that pointed out to Jack when you were really feeling alone and almost overwhelmed.
I have seen the scars on your soul Z, but they haven't taken from your beauty, your kindness, your heart. In fact, it's those scars that make you the person you are today. The woman I love would die for in a heartbeat and will do anything for.
Now if only I could heal the scars on your heart enough so that you'll trust yourself to love again
