Thanks be to EBT.


Do I still love you?

I don't know how I feel about you, what to think of you anymore.

"I don't know."

My voice is raspy, my throat raw. It hurts to talk.

"But you like me?"

"Yes," I whisper.

"Then that's something you have to work out with yourself."

He scoots back closer to me.

"Because I won't take anything less than 100% of you, Angel."

He smiles, and I want to cry again, because I still can't figure out why he's being so good to me.

"And I can't have 100% of you until you're back to being 100% you."

And at that, I can't help but start crying again.
