The drive back to Tully’s apartment is silent. The weight and horror that I’ve held onto over the past fifteen years have lifted off my shoulders, but I fear that it’s come down on hers. What I shared with her was only the beginning of the horrendous things that I’ve done, but for some fucked up reason, she needed to hear it. Truth be told, I think I needed it too.

I can’t help but feel as though sharing this part of myself somehow brings us closer together. It’s as though she can finally begin to understand who I am and what made me so damn closed off to the world. It’s as though I’m completely open to her now. No secrets between us.

I just hope she doesn’t think any less of me.

What I told her was heavy and I know she was expecting something bad but I doubt her pure mind has ever considered that it was the kind of stuff nightmares were made out of.

My father turned me into a monster and now she knows exactly what kind of monster I am.

I didn’t realize just how desperately I needed to get that off my chest. All this time I thought I was protecting her when in reality, she was the one protecting me by knowing exactly what I needed. She’s always known and I wasted years of my life not letting her in.

I’ve been such a fucking fool. I’ve always listened to every word she’s said, but when it came to my past, I never actually heard her. Her questions fell on deaf ears and I was determined to avoid it at all costs. Sometimes; I went as far as being an ass about it, but she always stood right by my side, always standing tall.

We make our way up to her apartment and it seems as though it takes forever for Tully to get the door unlocked. The bag of take out is dropped on the coffee table as Tully walks straight through to her kitchen and digs the tub of ice cream out of her freezer.

Without another word, she slinks down the hallway to her bedroom and I follow behind, leaving the already cold food to sit on the coffee table, completely forgotten and disregarded.

We must have been sitting in the car longer than I had thought because the massive clock up on her wall is telling me that it’s nearly seven in the evening. There’s still daylight coming in through the windows, but over the next hour or so, it’s going to drain away and something tells me that she wants nothing more than to close the book on today.

Tully pushes into her room and walks straight over to her bed before pulling off her work clothes replacing them with a pair of tiny sleep shorts and a tank. She’s never been uncomfortable stripping off before me and I can’t help but roam my eyes over her body. It’s still the perfection it was four
