They say every person comes into your life for a reason. That reason may be to help you, hurt you, or just plain annoy the absolute crap out of you.
He did all of these things.
He scared me. Not because of the way he acted, or his attitude, or even how he dressed. He scared me because he was the first person in a long time to pay attention, to care, to be curious. His determination to save me, to open my eyes to the world I turned away from, was absolutely terrifying.
I didn't understand why he would even bother. I was just a broken toy, something that couldn't be fixed.
But he didn't see my brokenness; he just saw me. For some goddamn reason, he thought he could change me into the person I was and at some point, I hoped he could.
But I wouldn't have let him know me if I would've known what the price would've been. It was the very reason why I didn't let anyone get close to me. It was the very reason I made him swear not to fall in love with me.
I'm infectious; I ruin everything I touch.
Now, I have to pay the price.
