Chapter 24: Only Love Can Hurt Like This

(TRIGGER WARNING: Mentions Of Rape)

Hannah's POV

He defiled me.

That was the only thing that kept replaying in my mind as I lay unmoving behind a dumpster, abandoned by the man whom I had given my heart. The man who had just destroyed my world in a matter of minutes.

I thought he loved me, he told me he did. He said I was everything to him. He promised he would never leave me, that he would always care for me.

He lied.

It was all a lie.

Every memory we had made together, every moment that we had shared. None of it was real.

A weak sob escaped me as I burst into angry tears, cursing myself for believing him. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have been so blind? How could I have let him use me like this?
