He was never mine
Then came the first major fight.
It was over something stupid—a friend of mine had sent me a message, and he assumed it was flirting. His temper flared, words sharp and cutting, accusing me of things I hadn’t done. I tried to defend myself, but he didn’t let me finish.
“You think I don’t see what’s going on?!” he shouted. “You’re mine. Don’t forget it.”
My chest tightened. My throat burned. I wanted to tell him to back off. I wanted to walk away. And yet, part of me stayed frozen, mesmerized by him, terrified and exhilarated at the same time.
