“I don’t fucking care if you say you’re not hungry because the outcome will be the same. Which is you eating every single fucking thing on this plate,” he snaps.
“Who the hell died and made you, my father?” I snap at him. What a jerk face!
“Are you going to eat by yourself or do I need to feed you?” he questions, not even bothering to answer the question I just asked.
“I’m going to eat by myself. Thank you very much!” I snap with a roll of my eyes. I take the fork from him and dig into the eggs he made, then I take a bite of the toast. It’s really good but all I can think about is how much I don’t want to eat and how much I need to throw it all up. I make a move to stand up but he stops me.
“Sit the fuck down, baby. You’re not going to go throw up,” he snaps, and I feel the tears threaten to spill down my face again.
“Stop fucking yelling at me!” I snap as angry tears run down my cheeks.
“I wouldn’t yell at you if you’d just fucking do as you’re told. Can’t you see that I’m trying here? I’m trying to help you get better but you’re not making my job easy,” he says.
When he sees my tears, he curses before pulling me out of my chair and onto his lap. I’m straddling him. He pulls my head down so that I’m lying on his chest as he rubs his hand along my back in a comforting way.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you cry,” he whispers into my ear. He places a kiss to the side of my head.
“I’m tired. I don’t want to be here anymore. I just want to fucking die. I’m tired of living with the memories—” I say through my sobs.
“Shh. It’ll get better, baby.”
“What if it doesn’t?”
“It will.”
“How do you know?”
“Because I won’t stop until you’re happy again.”
“What if I don’t want to be happy again? What if I don’t want to be yours? What if I want to get as far away from you as possible?”
“You don’t have a choice. You’re already mine. Your stubborn ass just needs to get with the program,”
“That’s not how relationships or love works.”
“That’s how my love works. You’re mine now and forever, baby. I don’t care what I have to do in order to fully possess you but I’ll do it. I’m not going to lose you. Not even to yourself,” he says with so much conviction in his voice, before he places another kiss to my forehead.
He stands up with me in his lap and walks us into the den. He gently puts me down onto the sofa before covering me with a blanket.
“Don’t move from this spot until I get back. I need to go check on Ezra,” he tells me bossily.
“Did something happen?” I ask.
“He collapsed on the field Friday night. That’s why I was late coming home and didn’t find out that you were missing until it was late,” he says sulkily. Okay. I guess he’s still upset at the fact that I slipped away from him easily.
“I’ll be fine here,” I tell him.
“I don’t want to leave you alone,” he says.
“I’m fine. I’m not a damn child,” I huff out to him.
“Okay, fine. I’ll be back soon,” he says before walking out of the den and leaving me alone with the television on.

I wait aboutten minutes after Knox leaves to make sure he’s gone before I get up from the chair and head back upstairs to my room.
