I sniff back the tears, not letting them out of my green eyes. Pulling away from Mason after a few minutes, I smile lightly and kiss his cheek. Then, determined to finish the story I've already started, I continue as soon as I can control my voice again. "Anyway, it wasn't really Conrad's fault, what he did to me--that's how his dad treated him ever since his mom died when he was younger. But, either way, I was relieved when he moved away, and I broke up with him, knowing that he couldn't hurt me--at least not at that time. He's been trying to get me to take him back the last couple weeks, and I guess someone told me I was here for summer vacation. I might be over-reacting, but I'm just scared he might do to me, what he used to--only worse this time."
