“I am so confused. I don’t know what to do. I don’t wanna be without you. I don’t wanna lose any of you, but I also don’t want to choose. I can’t choose.” She cried. “I’m sorry, Landon. I’m so sorry.”
Anguish spread across her face. I could feel how much she was hurting.
“It’s okay,” I said, brushing some curly black hair off her face. “I know what they mean to you. Deep down, I’ve always known. But I told you that Poison is forever. I dedicated my life to these guys and to destroying this town. You’re not going to tear us apart with your decision.”
“So, does that mean … that you … that you’re going to leave me?”
“That I’m gonna leave you?” I asked, completely taken aback. “There is no fucking way that I would ever leave you, no matter what. Poison isn’t the only one to change my life. You showed me what it means to love someone and to be loved.
“I’m not leaving you, nor am I leaving Poison. I …” I started, nerves still piling up in my stomach. I fucking hated talking about my feelings. I hated that I needed reassurance over and over again that she wouldn’t leave me. It made me feel so shitty, especially to her because she had done nothing wrong. Nothing fucking wrong. She wasn’t like Mom and Dad, yet still, it was so hard to unlearn all those toxic fucking feelings that had literally become part of me.
“I just need some more open communication,” I finally managed to say.
“I want to love you, and I want you to love me too, Imani,” I said desperately. “Please.”
Her lips curled into a smile. “Of course, Landon.”
I widened my eyes and pulled her closer to me, placing a kiss on her forehead and finally feeling the stress roll off my shoulders. Nobody, not even the other two guys, would come between us. I would love Imani until my very last breath.
