Your Pov:

I sat on my bed, hugging my knees. Tears streamed down my face. Tei and I just had a horrible fight. I was going to go to a party with some friends, but he didn't want me to go. I told him that he didn't own me and the fight escalated from there. Afterwards, he left. I felt horrible. I grabbed my phone and ear buds and played some music. The first song came on.

On the first page of our story, the future seemed so bright...Then this thing turned out so evil. I don't know why I'm still surprised...

When Tei and I first got together, it was like a fairy tale. I loved him and he loved me. He took me on many wonderful dates and whispered sweet complements in my ear. Then, something changed in us both.

Even angels have their wicked schemes! And you take that to new extremes. But you'll always be my hero. Even though you've lost your mind...

When Tei would take our fights too far, I would lock myself in my room. When Eri, Soi, and Shinbi saw the state I was in, I convinced them that he wasn't that bad, because I still loved him. And wanted to reject the painfulness of it all.

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn, but that's all right because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand there and hear me cry, but that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie. Oh, I love the way you lie...

Tears kept running down my cheeks. This relationship was so toxic, yet I yearned for his love and affection. His love was the only love I've ever known. Without him, I felt empty and so alone. I was trapped.

Now there's gravel in our voices! Glass is shattered from the fight. In this tug of war you'll always win. Even when I'm right...'Cause you feed me fables from your hand! With violent words and empty threats! And it's sick that all these battles, are what keeps me satisfied...

Our fights were never easy. Voices raised and gestures were made. Even when we weren't fighting, I could feel myself slowly breaking down. I want to leave, but at the same time, I wanted to stay. No matter how many times I tried to leave, I always came back. Once, he actually shattered a glass by holding it too tightly. That scared me slightly.

So maybe I'm a masochist. I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave...'Til the walls are goin' up in smoke with all our memories!

I heard my bedroom door open. I looked over. Tei stood there, staring at me. I pulled my knees closer to me. He didn't move. His eyes scanned over me. I looked horrible.

It's morning, you wake, a sun ray hits your face. Smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction. Hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry that you pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me!

He still had the cut on his face from when I slapped him. I moved back until my back hit a wall. He walked towards me and stopped at the corner of my bed. I looked away from him.

Try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me! Run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy! Baby, without you I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me! Then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me!

I felt his hand on my shoulder. I jerked away and curled up tighter. I wanted him to hold me, but the cycle would just repeat if I did. If he left me, I would be so lost. Without him, I feel small. With him I felt loved.

Then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the destructive path that we’re on, two psychopaths but we know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs, that we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky!

He stepped back but I still felt his gaze on me. I didn't want to even look at him. I knew that if he did, I would fall right back into his trap. He was a manipulator and we both knew it. He made big problems out of small fights.

Together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains out of molehills! You hit me twice, yeah, but who’s counting?
I may have hit you three times, I’m starting to lose count! But together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain! Our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counseling!

We've had a number of fights where things would be thrown. Sometimes, they would hit their targets dead on, leaving scars in their wake. Talking through our fights never led to anything beneficial. It only lead to more fighting between us.

This house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand square feet of it to the ground, ain’t shit you can do about it! 'Cause with you I’m in my fucking mind, without you, I’m out it!

Without Tei, my house felt emptier. Living without him would keep me sane but it wouldn't be long until insanity comes creeping in. He was the same. That little bit of insanity swelled in him too. He just never showed it.

Soon, the song came to an end. Then, there was silence. I turned and looked at Tei. His eyes looked glassy. I uncurled myself and sat up straight. I looked at him, feeling more tears well up in my eyes. He approached me and pulled me into a hug. I knew it was wrong, but I gave in. I leaned into him and rested my head on his chest. We stayed there for a while. Eventually, Tei spoke, "I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you getting hurt." I shook my head, "No. It's ok. You were just concerned. I get it."

And then, I fell into the trap.

But then again, what did you expect for someone who loves a manipulator?
