Re: Lori + Scor
"So what is stopping you?" Scorpius asked, matching the tone. "Why not do it again? You run into him on the street, and you just give in. What is your excuse the next time? Did you tell him that? You know he will try it again because he can and you are too fucking weak to say NO."
He backed up against the wall realizing he was leaning forward. "How can you promise me it will never happen again? You can't even say that you know what you want. You say that you want me but change your mind five minutes later." That hurt even more.
He had to take a minute just to breathe - just breathe. "You are all I thought about when I was gone. I missed you. I cried every night, and my aunt thought I was some weak piece of shit. When Jacob came to get me, I wanted to kill him. All he had to do was tell me you were alive, and then I paced until they let me go. You make me happy. My parents still say we can't be together, and they say that I have to think of my future and do my duty to my family, and you aren't a part of that. I don't happen to agree and I fight for us, for you. I chose someone who made me happy and he wants someone else." The last words were a whisper and his eyes were watering again.
