My mind is a mess.

I can't live this way anymore. He thinks I've told him the worst, but I've barely told him anything at all.

I can't love Landon.

He just brings more confusion. I need to leave. Then I can break through the chaos that haunts me.

-- --

My mind has never been so clear.

I'm writing new songs faster than ever before. I'm falling for her, even as the secret that I've kept hidden for years threatens to reveal itself.

I can't love Alex.

Everyone will know I'm a monster. I'll stay away. It's the only way.

He's alive.

I don't know how, but he's standing here in the doorway. A torn piece of green silk sticking out of his pocket matching the fabric that I carry with me everywhere to remember him.

My heart has been torn in two.

I don't know who I'm supposed to love. A man that has stolen my heart or my husband who I thought was dead.

-- --

He's fucking alive.

That can't be possible. I found someone I could finally love. Someone I want to spend the rest of my life with.

But I can't love Alex.

Not now. I have to let her go. It's the only way I can save her. I just hope I'm strong enough to save myself.

I know who tried to kill me.

The same man that raped me is the same man that tried to kill me. Twice. I have some evidence, but not enough. I want revenge, but every step I take towards getting that revenge I feel myself drifting further from Landon.

I'm going to lose him.

I'm going to lose everything that I care about. All I can focus on is revenge. Maybe then I will be able to put the past behind me. Maybe then I can truly heal. I just hope I don't lose him and myself in the process.

She's pregnant.

Caroline has always held my deepest darkest secrets, but now she thinks she has another one. One that could control me. I can't be a father though.

I'm a monster.

The baby can't be mine. If it is, I already know my future. I'll lose the woman I love. The only woman I've ever wanted.
