Alissa was lying on her bed when I got there curled in a ball.
"It's okay, I'm here," I pulled her up, hugging her. She was always there for me, and now she needed me.

"He called me an abomination. He hates me now,"
"You know that's not true," I said.
"Isn't it?" she cried.
"This can't be easy on him. Give him some time. He'll see what a great woman you are,"
"Do you really think so?" her eyes were red and hopeful.
"I do," I said, hoping he would.
"You have to stop him. They'll erase his mind," she jumped up off the bed and starting pacing back and forth frantically."They might even kill him. Oh, God, what have I done?"
I took my phone out and called the one man I thought I never would, Antonio.
We were sitting in the living
