He looked at me in the eyes, his face was so red. His eyes were still brimming with tears, he took another shaky breath, and said, "How the hell are you still with me?" He questioned. "My life is so messed up. How can you even love me?" His voice broke, as my hands went cold. I stopped holding his face. "How can anybody?" He asked quietly while sobbing. "I hate that you think you're not good enough," I replied. "You are good enough," I added. "My life before having you in it was horrible. I hated my life, and now that you're in it, it's amazing. You made my life better, Miles. I can't see my life without you." I promised. "I could never not want you around, so don't ever think that." ∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼ PAST: this story followed the life of emma marino. a short, shy girl, who was a hopeless romantic. when a sexy, depressed, australian man with the name of miles ericsson, waltzed into her life, her life was flipped upside down. he brought her through his depression, as she shone a light into his life. she showed him how content their lives could be together.
