I want to add a #11 to this list. I love how easy you are to talk to. About anything and everything.

[moneyfornothing]

Talking is a two-way street. You're very easy to talk to too. I have to say, there's things I've talked out with you that I haven't wanted to even touch on in a long time.

[arrecho]

There is something else I need to talk to you about, but I haven't really known how to bring the subject up.

[moneyfornothing]

Your ex?

[arrecho]

That obvious, huh?

[moneyfornothing]

Not in a sense that I think you've been avoiding the subject purposefully. Just more like it's a necessary evil you've been putting off because it's painful.

[arrecho]

I told you what happened with him, and why it ended. It's just not as easy as that. He's Destina's best friend... or was, rather.

[moneyfornothing]

Wait. Cole's your ex? Cole Carrington? He's the guy that hit you?

Well, this must be what homicidal feels like.

[arrecho]

He was completely trashed, it was a messy situation. I'm not making excuses for him. There's no one more angry at him than I am... and have been. He kicked me when I was down, and there wasn't any going back from that. But I also know addiction is an illness and as angry as I was, I didn't want him to destroy himself.

[moneyfornothing]

You have a big heart. People with big hearts mean there is more room in their heart for people to hurt them. Which is okay, that's not a bad trait. As much as I wish I could be a prick about this, my own mum destroyed herself because she was ill... so I understand. You want to help him.

[arrecho]

Maybe. I don't know. I have mixed feelings. But I did go and see him in rehab.
