"He's hurting you!" My friend said to my face for the nth time this week. It was my seventh visit to my friend's house and I can see the disappointment displayed in her eyes now.

"Why can't you just leave him?" She said to me while cupping my cheek wiping my dried tears.

Even now I still can't understand why I stayed royal towards him when all he did is hurting me over and over again. Is this how true love feels?
