Beautiful Sacrifice

“You’re so fucking mean. It’s disturbing that I like it so much.”

“You felt that, right?” Taylor said, keeping his voice low.

 I looked up at him. “Promise you’ll never do that again.” 

A grin slowly stretched across his face. “You have my word.”

“It was grief, Falyn. I haven’t felt it since I was a kid, but I remember that helpless feeling when you lose someone. No matter how much you love someone, you can’t bring them back. No matter how much you scream or drink or beg or pray… a hole was created when they left. It burns and rots you from the inside out until you stop crying for the pain to stop and start accepting it as the way life will be.”

“How? How can you still love me? If I deserved it before, I definitely don’t now,” I said, exasperated. 

He shrugged. “I just love you. I don’t stop to question whether or not you’re worthy.”
