I had finally taken down the man that tried to ruin me. After being acquitted my best friend decided I needed a fresh start. I didn’t expect to save two lives on the drive in to town. Now I can’t get rid of them and the man I kept alive thinks we can save me, he doesn’t realize that maybe I don’t want to be saved.

Dear Somebody

I've always heard you will have three great loves in your lifetime. The first is supposed to teach you everything wrong, the second is supposed to break you apart and the third is supposed come when you least expect it. I've already been through the first two, am I strong enough to survive the third Especially when he was my first. ​" She smiles and looks down at me and I can feel the world trying to right itself. What I wouldn't give to not have these thoughts. To be able to be here with her fully. She wiggles her eyebrows playfully, "So just show me." So I do. I tell her how much I love her without any words. How much I wish I met her at a different time in my life. When I didn't walk around waiting for the other shoe to drop. Because it will. We're not meant to be together right now, if ever. Not when my brain isn't right. Not when I feel like I shouldn't be here. So I tell her hello and goodbye. I beg her to move on, to forget me. I ask for her strength and her forgiveness. I pamper every inch of her gorgeous pale skin. I think a part of her knows I'm saying goodbye. She thinks she can beg me to stay, but I won't. I can't. When I finally settle deep inside the woman I love, I know exactly what home is. I give her everything I have and ask for nothing in return. Because I don't deserve anything. When she finally closes her eyes and her breaths turn even I dress and leave the condo. I don't tell anyone where I'm going. Not even my pain in the ass best friend She'll need him more then I will, they'll need each other. I walk out and I don't look back. Not when Ace yells out my name. Not even when Jackie grabs onto my jacket, swearing and calling me a coward. I do however gently remove her fingers, wipe her eyes and kiss her forehead. I get into the cab I had called earlier and avert my eyes when Ace starts pounding on the window. "Don't do this man." He's pleading with me, trying to get through the darkness. I roll the window down a few inches, "Take care of her for me." "Do it yourself." I roll it back up and tell the drive to go. I'm strong, I'll get through this. My phone vibrate in my pocket. I take it out, roll down the window and toss it. "

I always thought other witches were able to travel to the other planes, till I learned they couldn't, and the only reason that I could was because I was created there. I never knew much about my parents to begin with and I was always told Samual was my brother. Now I don't think anything I know is the truth.
