Bethany

I changed every part of myself for him. At first, I thought it was because I loved him. Eventually, I realized that what he did to me was the most disgusting form of emotional abuse. He made me feel as if the authentic parts of me were wrong - that I was ugly.

One night, after I had been through hell I ran to my best friend Natasha's house. I wanted the comfort of my best friend, to hold me and tell me everything would be okay.

What I got was something else entirely, and his name is Leon Gabor.

I just didn't know I'd be hearing his name for the rest of my life.
