I look at Chandler waiting for me to say what I have to say. Iook into his beautiful blue eyes and start to tear up.
He pulls me closer to him. " Hey what's wrong ?"
" C-Chandler ... " I say quietly. " My Dad."
He pulls away and looks at me in my eyes.
" What about him?"
I start sobbing more. " He's done stuff to me " I say starting to cry harder.
" Wait, you don't mean he ra- " I cut him off.
" NO ! He just abuses me .. "
" Where?" He says calmly. I can tell he's mad.
" EVERYWHERE " I keep it short.
"Beth. Take off your shirt. " he says looking at my shirt.
" W-why ? " I say wrapping my hands over my shirt.
" I wanna see how bad you've been hurt " says.
" n-no . Chandler just - " he cuts me off.
"Beth look at me... I need to see how bad he hurt you. NOW. " He says sternly.
I slowly take off my shirt. Chandler gasps when I have it completely off. I have bruises all down my rib cage and on my stomach. My hips and shoulders are completely covered in scars and cuts. I think he noticed those more than the bruises.
" Baby ... " Chandler pulls me on his lap. I start to tear up.
" I-I .. I'm sorry. " I say as more tears pour down my face. He just holds me tight wiping my tears from my face.
" You don't have to be .. I-I didn't know you would do something like that. There is nothing for you to be sorry about okay "
He holds my face and looks me in my eyes.
I look away .. " Why do you want to be with someone like me Chandler ?"
" Beth .. Because .. I love you. You're so fucking perfect. Even if you don't think you are, I know you are. I want you because you're not like everyone else. You're different. And .. I love that about you. I want to be with you forever. Okay ? "
I look back into his beautiful eyes.
" I love you too Chandler." I pull his face to mine and our lips connect.
We stay like this for about 30 seconds.
Then he pulls away.
He smiles " Its almost 5 in the morning, I better get going or my parents will flip when they wake up. " I chuckle.
" okay bye I love you Chandler "
" I love you more " He smiles and climbs out my wimdow.
