You're very important to me. I really want to you to know that, okay? Like, I...I've never had a girlfriend before. I've never trusted anyone as much as I trust you, and I really should've...said something to you about this. Before now. Before saying anything to Chase, fuck.
I don't. I didn't. There was no plan, there. I just wanted to be honest with him because it seems to work? He listens, kind of, when I don't give him room to fuck around with what I've said.
Being attracted to him doesn't...negate what he did. Or how he treats you now, still. I haven't forgiven him. In a perfect world he never would've tried to kill us and in a better one, he would have apologized by now. To you, especially.
