"Why are you so desperate to have me forgive you? Was destroying me once not good enough for you?"
"Please, I need you to forgive me, Xavier," I say bugging him. In order to tell him why I left and about our son, I need him to forgive me or at least say he could forgive me.
"Why are you so desperate to have me forgive you? Was destroying me once not good enough for you?" He growled turning to finally look at me. "You ran from me a year ago today! You nearly killed me!" He yells keeping in hands at his sides while they are in fists as the rage radiating from him was mixed with sadness. I look down at the ground trying to figure out how to explain that I left to hide our baby from my mother.
"I'll explain everything once I know you can forgive me," I say through the tears, holding back the sobs. I'm trying to fight the need to reach out to him physically and mentally. No matter how hard I try my mind seeks out his and I catch a glimpse of his thoughts. 'God, she is still as pretty as the day she left. I can't let myself get hurt again, I'll die this time. I might be able to forgive her but I need to know why before I could.' I pull back needing to hear him say it out loud. The rage was still radiating from him. "Please," I say as the sobs escape. I hear him sighing.
Look, I can forgive you but I need to know everything." He says as he pulls me into his arms and the rage coming from him starts to fade.
