Alexa frowned as he spoke, of course it wouldn't be so easy for her to just take the lyrics and pretend she didn't just admit to what Matt had done. He cared. He wouldn't let this go and worrying him to no end was something she wanted to avoid. But when he held her hand she felt safe, safe knowing she wouldn't get hurt. And yet his words kept hitting her.
She had known Kendall was rather abrasive and controlling but Pete never mentioned the abuse, it started to make sense. The songs he had written before. It all clicked into her brain. It was no more about him being hurt. It was now about her being hurt. The fallen angel. Was that really how he saw her. She frowned as she paid attention. The tears that crept out his eyes threaten her own tears to continue. Thats when she gently moved closer and wrapped her arms around him.
Someone cared this much about her? It was a new thing to understand. She knew her parents did somewhat. But she had said exactly what Pete had said. No matter what Matt did to her, he loved her right? But now she wasn't so sure on what to do she felt stuck. "I.."She breathed and buried her head into his shoulder for more comfort. "It started a week after we got together..I think..it was all just him hating me for leaving in the first place."She admitted, she didn't want to lie to him anymore. "But I can't...Just..leave him."She bit her lip "I live there now..if we split Im screwed and if he was that angry at me to hit me..shoot me up with stuff then what will he do if I leave again?"She was trying to hide how scared deep down she was, the spotlight was on her and she hated it. She preferred to help others to distract herself from her own issues. "I don't wanna die..I don't want you to cry over the thought."She pulled away some and cupped his cheek as she searched his face. "I don't wanna be a fallen angel anymore Pete.."She murmured gently.
