Chapter 241
I’m dying. Clayton. I can feel myself every day slipping away. I’m tired and don’t want to fight anymore. I don’t want to do anything but close my eyes and rest for a while. You might think in a selfish that the twins will grow up without a mother, but I think it i selfiess to give them a chance in this life without someone like me. My love is poison. 11 maade ma do things Inever thought I’d do for love
Touted to tell me about the band, but I wouldn’t listen to you. I thought you could fight harder against it; I thought you were stronger. Thad faith in you, and you tried to me, but I was selfish because I couldn’t let you go.
I knew you loved me, and now I know what you went through. I love you Clayton, but I can stop thinking about Cash. I can’t stop wanting to feel him or have him feel me, but I love you. Now I understand it all. All those years you had to fight against something as natural as breathing for me, for us. And in the end. I understand it all. d it makes me love you.miamore.
You tried so hard and I never understood that fight. ||
I’ve stopped dreaming about you. It’s been months now, but I can’t get our island out of my head if i could go back in time, would I do it all over again? Maybe. [
I feel as if I’m being swallowed down by something rotten. I feel as if I stink of rot and leave ruin in my wake. This family tolerates me, but they don’t love me, and I don’t blame them a I’m a stranger here: 1 refuse to make myself anything more than that. Why? Because n’s easter that way for everyone.

Caleb called and said that Rys left your pack today to go her own way, and I know that you have fallen in love with her knew it as soon as heard that you let her go. You let me go, and now you let her go.
Don’t feel galty for loving her. It can’t be helped. You fought too long
I’m going to be nothing more than a memory that will fade in times, and you are going on with your life. I only be remembered in pieces, in bits of things, and it kills me inside, because in most selfish way possible, I want you to remember me on our island together. That’s the person I want you to remember. That’s how I want to be remembered by you on our land free of the world, while we played in our own world.
When I think of you. I think of our island pow–those were the best days of my life…]
You gave me my best days.
I love you, Clayton, and I’m selfish because I can’t let you go. I don’t know, maybe it’s different for females; we might have a harder time letting things go, letting our love go?

That was wrong, I just couldn’t let you go. I was ready for the breakup. I wasn’t ready not to have you in my life anymore. I wasn’t ready to be alone without you Touve always been there; I don’t remember a time you weren’t there. We always walked side by side, even as pups.

Now my end is coming near, and I feel prepared in a strange way. I’m calm. I can handle death, but I couldn’t handle losing you
I’m afraid you’re going to be able to handle losing me, and it kills me inside, but I understand it. You already gave up without any kind of fight. I’m sure you’re finding a way to finally breathe again. I know I was holding you in the end, and now the noose around your neck is gone.
