Jacob
Daniel craved to possess my soul. He was no longer satisfied with just my body. His hunger grew.
He demanded more from me. My thoughts, decisions, my future… he wanted it all. He said the word “love” for the first time, whispered promises of patience, and a part of me, a treacherous piece, didn’t wish for him to abandon that hope.
Despite that, it would mean betraying Nathan.
That part… the hidden, shameful one, would not quiet down. It gnawed at me in the quiet moments, whispering things I wasn’t supposed to feel.
I had no name for it, only the sensation of being constantly torn in half. It breathed in my chest, just beneath the surface, blooming whenever Daniel’s voice reached me.
I wanted to put it out, to deny its existence. But I never did. I couldn’t.
