“No, it’s not the end of the fucking discussion since it still has to start yet!

You didn’t even let me finish, this is not a conversation, you have to hear

what I have to say before storming off like my opinion didn’t fucking matter!”

“Because it doesn’t!” She hissed, pulling herself out of my grasp, “It

doesn’t matter what you think and what you want because it’s still my

decision!”

“You barely ever speak about your parents, about that night! You think I

don’t know you have nightmares every time you fall asleep? You fucking cry

in your sleep, Sofia! And the way you reacted the day Valentina had her

accident says it all, goddammit. You’re traumatized and you don’t even care

enough to help yourself or your sister!”

Fire blazed in her eyes and I could see my words truly her feelings. I

regretted them instantly.

“How fucking dare you.” Her words were so cold. “How fucking dare

you, Maddox.”

I gulped, a hand passing through my hair.

“Listen, I understand how hard it can be to admit you need help and

actually seek it. But, baby, put yourself in my shoes. I wake up in the middle

of the night only to see my girl crying right next to me, not even aware that

she is crying. I want to help you, that’s all I’ve ever wanted— to give you

and Valentina all you need and want, but I– …there are some things I can’t do

on my own. I want you to get better and in order to do that, we’ll have to get

you to talk to someone.”

I took a step towards her, wanting to take her in my arms but she stood

away from me.

“You want to give me what I want? What I need? Let us fucking deal with

it how we please. I refuse to talk to anyone and Valentina won’t either.

Especially not to that bitch working here. That’s the end of this fucking

delusional conversation. Drop it, Maddox.”
