Shh, Don't Tell Daddy
“Please don’t do that, Damon, don’t make promises, don’t say that.”
“Why? I’m not Paul! I took a beating from my dad, broke my leg, and everything! I took it because I loved you, and I hoped you would notice I didn’t care if it meant fighting your dad; I would because I love you! I put myself through that for you, Trix, so hanging up my whip that I can do so fucking easily.”
I sit crying, feeling his hands on my knees.
“I’m broken.” The only words I can say, escape.
