Heroes...

I used to need one, but now?

Before, I always needed a hero, because I never learned to do anything to help myself.

That was why I left Billy. I wanted to learn who I was, and to figure out how to take care of myself. We would have time later. After all, we were everafters. I never came back because I took too long. He moved on.

Or so I thought.

Rapunzel and Cindy and Briar all said that he never got over me, that he never stopped thinking about me, just like I never stopped thinking about him.

About a hundred years ago, we contacted each other again. It was a disaster. We got into a huge fight, and both of us were angry for days. I tried to apologize, but he was still mad, and when he came to me a few days later, I turned him away. he never stopped trying, though.

I rejected him another time because he wanted me to stand in the back and let him fight my battles. I know he just wants to protect me, but doesn't he realize I don't need a hero anymore?
