           ❝ I messed up. I ruined a good opportunity for him. It was– It was my fault. ❞          

Amelia winced as he dabbed at her wound, trying not to appear in as much pain as she felt. How could he not be good enough? How was she supposed to believe that after all she had done – and all she had let him do? Mark would never understand. Not unless she told him everything, and they were words she could barely fathom let alone speak aloud. A part of her wanted to defend him, to say he wasn’t a bad guy, but they both knew he was. The only thing was she was just as bad a girl.

                                        ❝ Thank you Mark. I– Thank you. ❞

Wide eyes blinked back tears, not believing a single word he said, but appreciating the sincerity behind each one. He cared; that much she knew, and she was thankful for it, even if she didn’t deserve it. Someone who would listen without lecturing.

“Amelia.. if anything you did him a favor. You saved him from himself and doing something you shouldn’t have a part in. But your life is your life and I’m not your big brother, so I can’t tell you what to do. But I can’t let him lay another hand on you. So I suggest you get another boyfriend or be pretty damn sure he won’t do it again. Your life is your life, but seeing you like this- it affects me Amelia. But don’t ever hesitate to come to me– you hear? Lips are sealed.” 

Brushing another strain of her out of her face, Mark gently pulled down her head to press a soft kiss to her forehead. Running his fingers along her cheek and pulling back at her question. 

“It’ll go down a little but not all the way so you’re going to need to have a good lie set in. Not too well though,  lucky for you though charming and making people forget the actual question they were asking is my speciality.” Flashing her a small smile.
