ill never leave

“I promise you, I will never leave.”
He said looking me straight in the eyes.
“No, you cant promise that. Every time someone said that they lied.”
I said focusing on the floor beneath me, trying to stand my ground.
Everyone left me.
Mom left.
Dad left.
friends 1, 2, and 3 left.
Even I left for a while.
“But everyone else wasn’t me. I will never ever leave. I won’t be another scar.”
He said directly.
I looked down at my arm, and pressed it carefully to my side.
Every scar was a name I had forgotten.
He grabbed my wrist and pulled me over.
“I love you.”
He said in my hair.
“I love you.”
I breathed into his chest.
