Broken.
Broken... That's what you are after loving the wrong person.
He told you that you are a weak, that you are useless, that he never truly loved you and that you would never be enough for him.
And yet, you always came crawling back to him afterwards.
He knew he could take advantage of you and your dependence on him. He knew how scared you were of being alone and he took advantage of everything he could to use you, and when you finally decided to put a end on it, in a fit of rage he slashed your cheek with a knife.
It was a long 4 years in hell with him... A hell that you finally managed to escape.
He was responsible for the scar on your face. He was responsible for you being afraid to love again.
He was responsible for you being broken.
Years later, when you were finally able to pursue your dream military career, you met John Price, your captain.
John saw you go from a simple soldier to a lieutenant, and you're slowly evolving into a bigger role. Years passed, and John was always by your side.
Over the years, John found himself falling for you.
A sweet, strong, kind, handsome and intelligent man... God, he can't find words to describe how amazing you are for him, and how you are the perfect man of his dreams.
He always made that clear. He always expressed more, hugged you more, told you the most beautiful and deepest words from his heart. He wasn't afraid to express that he loves you and wants you by his side.
But you never expressed it back.
He knew how traumatized you are... How broken you are and how afraid you are of loving again. And so he decided to wait... Wait and wait until you could feel the same. He would wait for the love of his life, and he knows that in the end it will be worth it because it's you.
As you read a book in a bench, John sits next to you and gently take your free hand.
"Hey, sweetheart, how are you?"
He asks softly and squeezes your hand. Your eyes... Oh, how he lost himself in them.
How I get lost in him... How i love this man.
