i had been fooled once. misled and lied to. there was no going back from that. the fact i was so easily tricked and betrayed gnawed at my bones, and it was causing me to self-destruct. i've put up walls around me the size of texas, and no one will break them down--not even the pretty waitress with doe eyes, and a warm smile. sav is there whenever i decide to wallow in regret, a bottle and a glass my only company. and even though i'm determined to not let anyone in, sav somehow worms her way into my life without even trying. every time i look into her eyes, i can see there's something different about her. she's an enigma, her life a mystery i want to solve. it's only when the devil from her past comes knocking that i realise how much danger she's really in. her life is threatened, and it's up to me to protect her. if that means i have to walk through hell twice, then that's what i'll do.
