feared anger.

you and Tom were different. he was cold and mean. you were fun and nice. but. you both had one main difference. anger. his anger was isolated. hidden. yours..yours was like wildfire. you couldn’t handle it. you tried. you took meds. you did relaxation. nothing worked. you rarely showed that side of you to Tom. rarely. you had been dating two years and you showed him once. once. that’s how rare.

tonight was bad. you both got into an argument. a heated one. back and forth. nonstop. you felt like your mind was going to explode. you were heated and rageful. and he saw.

he paused in the middle of the argument while you were cussing and yelling at him. he slowly walked up to him and just..hugged you.

he got scared for you at these moments. your heartbeat high. your body heated. your breathing heavy. anything could happen, he thought. so, to calm you, he just..trapped you in comfort.
