Chapter 65 For Me

• Time stands still as the bell rings and as I glance around, I realize it’s empty. Everyone’s in class now and we’re out here alone. I’m not afraid of Dylan, I’m afraid of what could happen out here without the security of prying eyes to stop them from attacking each other. Dylan’s all seeing gaze watches me and I can see him tuck his anger away. I’ve known him long enough to know that he plans on addressing the issue of me letting another man touch me.
• “I don’t know what he told you Amia but you know as much as I do that you need me. You’re nothing without me. You’re not seeing straight. What you’ve done is a crime and I would hate to see you labeled as a traitor. No, you’re not in your right mind, but you’re important to me. I’ll ignore this misstep because… I’m… a forgiving man and I can see that you’ve been led astray by this… this monster. He just wants to fuck you. How could my innocent Amia know any better,” Dylan cooed.
• He didn’t so much as look at Levi as he stared at me. I could feel the webs of his lies as he weaved them around me. He wanted to snare me in his trap, he wanted to put me under his spell so I could go back to being who I was, back to being the girl who waited for even just a crumb of attention, back to being the girl who ignored when he slapped me around. It disgusted me. He disgusted me, but most of all I disgusted myself. Is this what I lowered myself for?
