dix

We stayed in bed for the rest of the day, talking about everything that came to mind. I told her about the videos.

The one for today was awful. He was a mess, worse than I'd ever seen him. His chest was littered with new bruises, his eyes sinking into his skull, his usually pristine beard messy and overgrown.

'Jesus.' Amber hissed when she saw him.

'...can't believe you've done this. I just need you to be here...'

'I know. I'm scared, Amber.' I felt tears trickle slowly down my cheek, as my heart twisted painfully in my chest.

'...I still love you. I don't think you get it. None of this was your fault, Si...'

'Turn it off.'

'...only getting worse without you...'

'Si, he's trying to reach out to you.

'...I'm in love with you...'

'Fucking turn it off!'

She paused the video, and looked up at me. There was a faint look of disappointment in her eyes.

'I wish someone loved me like Josh loves you.'

'What?'

'Unconditionally.'
