I have insecurity issues.

That's what makes me untrustworthy. Because I'll get insecure no matter how much you try and compliment me or make me feel good about myself, I'll always think the opposite.

I have trust issues too.

I won't believe a damn thing you say because in my mind, why would you say something so kind to someone like me? I don't deserve it, so you must be lying. Of course, it's not that I don't want to believe it's true, my brain just can't process it like that. I might need a therapist but I've also got money issues so that's out of the question.

So what do I do instead of trying to solve all my issues? I try and forget them. And I can do it for a little while... I can forget almost everything for this short amount of time but at the end of it all, all that I'm left with is an overlapping amount of the same issues I started off with in the beginning.

Then Ares came along, there's something about him that doesn't scare me. When he speaks I believe it. No matter how he is or what he's done. I will always trust him.

That's when I turn around and land on a huge lump in the bed. Huh?

I feel an arm wrap around my waist gripping tighter every time I try and slide out of it. I forced my eyes open and look up. I wasn't in my room and I certainly am not alone.

"Ares. Seriously let me go" I say and try to get out of his grip

He mumbles something and falls back asleep still having a strong hold on me. How the hell is this man strong in his sleep?

He can't let go of the thing he values the most.

Consy. Did you just call me 'thing'

Seriously. I'm trying to like compliment the situation and you pick up the stupidest part?

Rude.

"Ares! Let me goooo" I say again trying to get out of his grip. Moving my body around to see if I can slide out.

No use. He was holding onto me so damn tight

"Stop it Davis"

"I will once you let me go!" I say a bit upset

He opens his eyes and flips me over, he was now on top of me staring down at me. My hands were pinned above my head and all I could feel was the tension that was there.

I look around trying to not look into his eyes because Ash, you're my weakness. The walls were painted black, there was paintings on the wall. Then I looked over to the right and he had knives hung up on the wall along with guns.
