Ryah could hear movement downstairs and outside the bathroom door and could smell the two boys and then hear them. But she said nothing to them for quite a while. How ironic that Az only seemed to care for her when another male was stealing her attentions away from him. But she had to admit this was just as much her fault as it was theirs. It had been Lukan's idea but she had agreed to it. She had wanted to do it and now she was pain. Like her heart was falling apart. God, falling in love was so painful and so much work. Especially when the other party felt nothing for you. Nothing remotely close to what you felt.
Alright, so Az didn't like it when she flirted with another male. All that proved was that he was protective of her, territorial even it seemed. He didn't like it when she was upset. That proved nothing. She was sure most people didn't like seeing others upset. She kept trying to explain away with Az's feelings for her. Trying to make herself believe he felt nothing for her. It would have made this pain so much easier to deal with.
"I thought I knew what love is." She finally spoke. "But...but I've come to realize....what I felt for..Tamar...it wasn't love." As she spoke her sobbing slowly quieted to nearly silence, save for a few hiccups and sniffles. "I could care less when he brought other women home or when his....friends....he didn't care either." Obviously, there was something she wasn't saying here but all the abuse she suffered, it was something she only wanted Az to know. "You care though. But then...you don't care. It's like one minute I mean so much for you and the next I mean nothing. I'm both a burden and someone you want around."
She knew she would never have the relationship she wanted with him. He would never hold her when she woke up from nightmares or when her memories reared their ugly heads like they had last night. He'd never kiss her like she wanted, he'd never love her. She knew this but now was the moment that he needed to know everything. Now before she opened the door and faced him. "Last night I had the worst nightmare I've had in so long. I was terrified of falling asleep afterwards and all I wanted to do was crawl into bed with you but I was terrified of that because last time I did you almost killed me. It shouldn't matter, I've dealt with nightmares by myself for my entire life. But I finally find my one safety blanket and...." She trailed off as she gulped back a sob. "He doesn't even want me near him."
She was bearing her heart and soul by telling him all this. She didn't even care if Lukan heard or not. "Its hurting me, Az, and I can't keep doing this." Assertive. Thats what she needed to be. She was putting her foot down and giving him a choice. Standing from the floor of the bathroom, she opened the door and turned her bicolored gaze first to Lukan. "I need to be alone with him, please." Once Lukan left she turned her gaze to Az. "I want you to want me, Az. I won't force you to love me but I want you to give me a chance. So I'm giving you a choice, you can give me a chance and give yourself a chance instead of shutting yourself out like you always do. Or, I will leave." She said it as simply as that but her mind was set. She needed to know. She had enough knowledge of the outside world to know to survive on her own now. She probably won't do a good job but she'd survive.
