Flawed Heart

I met him in college, and I fell in love. It was a beautiful love, pure and perfect. Max quickly became everything I could have ever wanted. He was the jock, the popular guy, and I was just Belle. But he made me so much more. He gave me everything I could have ever wanted in life. But one night, one accident. It changed everything. The man I loved. The man I thought I knew...disappeared. I can't tell you the exact moment he fell out of love with me. But he did. I wish I could tell you there was hope. That I hung on. That I fought. I wish I could tell you that we fixed it. That happily ever after was just out of our grips. It wasn't. I ran. In the dead of the night, I packed my things and I left him. Five years later, I have returned. He's still the same man I left behind. A deadly underground fighter for the House of Obsidian. He's still dangerous. He's still broken. I still love him. We're both holding a secret, and that secret might just change everything. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I should have never left. Did I give up too easily? This is the part where I'm supposed to turn back around and run...but I don't. I can't.
