Novel & Cerita I Know You've Been Hurt By Someone Else

“I thought you were someone else. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” I apologized.

that must have hurt badly. I didn't mean to hurt him like that…

The kind of trouble that didn't have an easy solution. The kind that ended with someone getting hurt. And that someone was probably going to be me.

It was only when I tried to make up for the damage I did with Willa, that I realized how easy it was to hurt someone. I hurt her, and now I lost her.

Miserable, even. “I don't know you well enough to understand what made you think this was your fault,” I said. “And I don't know what it's like to lose the only family you have. But I do know what it feels like to see someone you care about get hurt and feel completely helpless.” He didn't react to my words, so I continued. “It isn't your fault,” I said. “You just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Don't blame yourself.”

What have I become? I’ve been selfish, cruel without meaning to be, and blind to the pain I’ve caused. And now, I might have destroyed the one connection that mattered most. I press my palms into my eyes, trying to block out the thoughts, the images, the memories that won’t stop flooding in. But no matter how hard I try, one truth remains, ringing loud and clear in my mind. I’ve hurt her in ways I can never take back. “Hey.”

Aѕ raw аѕ іt mіght ѕоund, I’m gоіng to hоld nothing back. If уоu fіnd thіѕ dіаrу, the fіrѕt thіng уоu ѕhоuld knоw іѕ thаt you’re nоt аlоnе. Yоu’rе nоt thе first реrѕоn thеу’vе tаkеn, аnd you’re nоt the only оnе thеу’vе hurt. The ѕесоnd thіng is, it could wеll gеt wоrѕе for уоu thаn it wаѕ fоr mе.

I felt chills creep up my spine. “I don’t think I can ever get over it, you know? And I don’t want to live with it either. I just don’t want to feel anything. Just float away or something” I take another sip. “Ive been there” something darkened in his eyes, it was fleeting, but I saw it. He’s been hurt too, probably still hurting. Does it make me a bad person that I feel some sort of happiness knowing there’s someone else feeling the same pain I do? Like I’m not alone in my suffering.

“I know you heard me so well because you aren’t deaf.” “Do you see how hurt and broken you are?” “That is how betraying feels like.” “That was what I felt when you betrayed me. THIS IS LIKE GIVING YOU A TASTE OF YOUR OWN MEDICINE!!!.”

I attempted to convince Alex. "Alex, listen to me. I know I hurt a lot of people by running away. I hurt your feelings too. But whatever happened in the past is now gone. You have to help me. I am aware you care about me. You are not like-" I couldn’t finish my words.
