Failing Lights

Summary

"Don't you remember?" He asked brown eyes filled with sadness, and laced with something else. Hope Maybe? I don't know. I won't give into a monster and his attempts to make me remember what he's done to me. "No, and I'm glad I don't." I spat in his face and pushed him off of my bed. No never give in, never back down. I'd rather not know I've been blocking out, then to face it.
