"You know exactly what road." Heidi said, her tone somewhat bitter. The road she had gone down before, where she had given Tracey everything and was so naive and optimistic that she wouldn't be hurt only to have her heart shattered. That road.Where she leads herself to believe that things will work. That Tracey's paranoias and fears won't tear them apart.
Heidi bit the inside of her cheek, her tell-tale sign when she was craving a drink or drugs. What she wouldn't give for a few swigs of firewhiskey or a line.
How was she letting her heart near her? Heidi had already told her that she still loved her. "You know how foolish I can be." she said, using Tracey's words that she had said so long ago against her. "I'm 'hopelessly naive', remember? I wear my heart on my sleeve and trust people too easily." She chewed her cheek. "Though I'm trying to school myself to not expect too much from you."
