Our relationship developed out of an obsession. It wasn't the girl, but the idea that fixing someone who was broken meant there was hope for me. Even in my search for redemption, I was selfish. That doesn't mean I didn't love her. In the end, my love for her was the only thing I had left.
For Emma, our relationship sprang from innocence. Her curiosity was her undoing. She wanted to know there was something different, something exciting waiting for her in the world. I wanted to give her all of that and more. I wanted to liberate her from the chains society had bound us in. The irony of doing so by tying her down was not lost on me. In the end, I'd destroyed us both, but I couldn't let her go. To have the trust of someone so pure was stronger than any intoxicating substance known to man. She was my cure, and I was her poison.
