Why did you intervene like that, throwing yourself in front of the punches? For me? You could have been killed, and I promise you, I’m not worth it.

Don’t. I promise you, I’m fine. Please, I beg you please for your own safety, just stay away. I promise you don’t want to see me like this… I’m not myself… I’m disgusting. Plus, my dad is lurking, and you’ve seen what he can do. Please stay away.

Your dad is there??!! That’s it, I’m coming down there and beating him senseless this time. I don’t care what you look like, I don’t care if he beats me to a pulp too, all I care about is if I’m with you. Matching hospital beds right? But in all seriousness, I’m driving over now. What room are you in?

I have seen the pain he caused you, and I want to somehow soften the blow. I want to be next to you, holding your hand, whether it’s manicured or bruised. All I want is you, and I won’t let your dad get in the way of us. I love you too much to stay away. Sorry babe but you have to tell me. What. Room. Are. You. In.

No. I already told you no! You are so stubborn and this is a really dangerous situation. You could get hurt, and obviously I don’t want you getting hurt.

But you are already hurt. You have to believe that I am willing to suffer through whatever I have to in order to hold you again. I will be careful, but I have to see you somehow. Please...

I heard what happened from the doctor, about the car crash? You said you would be here in 15 minutes and you kept your promise, but not in the way that I wanted. I know you’ll never respond, but I just can’t accept that you’re gone. When I first got the news, I was violently sobbing, crying harder than I ever have before, and I swear I could feel your hand on my hand. I looked up hopefully, but all hope was lost when I looked up and saw no one. I love you Rach, and all I want is for you to come back to me. All I ever wanted was you.
