Jayden's POV
*One month later*
"Jayden, look at me." Alex said soothingly. I looked at him immediately. He blue eyes were deep, sincere. "I'm so sorry, love" he whispered, gently stroking my hair back from my face. "You know how I get when I'm upset. Just get the hell out of my way when I'm like that, okay?" And where am I supposed to go? He was a liar. But I loved him. He gently kissed the corner of my mouth. "I didn't mean it, baby girl. Please, talk to me." His hands were shaking as he touched my face, trying to wipe my tears away. He leaned down and kissed the tear streaks running down my face. "Don't cry, don't cry." He said, wrapping his arms around me. I sat on his bedroom floor, shaking. A bruise was forming around my left eye, and I watched Alex's knuckles bleed. Tears flowed from my eyes again. He was such an amazing guy; he was so strong and sweet. He just had a mean streak, that was all. It was all his dad's fault. His dad hurt Alex a lot when he was younger, and now violence was his normal reaction. His dad left when Alex was nine. Alex kissed my cheek again. Tears clung to his eyelashes. "Baby, I'm so sorry." His voice was breaking now. I was slowly returning back into my body, slowly releasing myself out of the cage I force myself into. It makes the world numb. My emotions slowly came back. "Please, talk to me. Don't be mad at me, don't leave me. I'll kill myself if you leave me."
I leaned up to his mouth and kissed him. I couldn't live without him. "You need to stop." I whispered. "Please, you need to stop." He nodded, and the tears fell from his eyes. "I know, I know, I'm so sorry." I let him hold me, nuzzling my head into his shoulder. What was I going to do?
