noun; the fear of pain
Justin's POV
I cringed as I slowly hung up the phone. She heard it. I know for a fact she heard it.

I slowly rose out of my bed and stumbled to the bathroom in a daze. I flipped the light switch on and stared at myself in the mirror. I was so disgusted with myself. How could I hurt Autumn like that. I've been hurt before in the past, you'd think I'd be more considerate of others and their feelings. As these thoughts raced through my head, my fingernails turned snowy white as I gripped the sink-top as hard as I could. I started shaking as the sobs racked  throughout my body. I'm horrible. I'm a horrible excuse for a human being.

I lost my train of thought when I heard the padding of feet outside the bathroom door.
"Baby, Justin, are you in there? Come back to bed," she whispered from the outside of the door seductively. Oh how I wish she was autumn at this moment.

Her words just sent even more shock through me. It was even more proof that I had done it. I had betrayed Autumn.
