Beautifully Scarred

Lilah
Growing up, all we had was each other.
Jimmy's always been the one who protected me-at any cost. I was content to let him clean up my messes. And when he kept his promise to get us out of our hometown and living the lives we always dreamed of, I was happy to pretend everything would be okay... for a while.
While Jimmy was able to leave the past behind, mine felt like a tattoo I could never scrub clean.
Jimmy thinks he can fix me-he tries, and tries, and tries.
Sometimes love isn't enough to heal all the wounds from the past. Sometimes even your savior thinks you're not worth saving.
And he'd be right... until everything changed.
Jimmy
I've loved Lilah for as long as I can remember.
And for as long as I can remember, she's pushed down the traumas of her past until they became poison running through her veins, infecting everything she touched.
Watching the woman you love destroy herself piece by piece is the slowest, most painful form of torture I know.
Giving her up may be the only way to save her. But how do I just walk away from the one person I love most in this life?
