You and Dallas had been dating for a year. It was the longest relationship he’d been in and that scared him. Usually he was all about one night stands, hookups, or relationships that didn’t last long.

You usually had some trouble telling people you love them or expressing your feelings but not to him, you told him you loved him all the time.

He had never once said it back. He just couldn’t, that wasn’t that way he was. Why would you love him, a hoodlum who treated you like shit?

Over time he got more agitated every time you said it. And he just snapped.

“Will you shut the fuck up for once in your life?! I know you love me, I know you fucking love me! Stop fucking reminding me!”
