"I need you to understand-"

Alicia pulls away from you and stands over you her jaw clenched.

You try to stand but cry out when your weight goes to your ankle crumpling to the floor.

Alicia drops her hands pulling off your boot gingerly like she knows every movement sends a cold shiver of pain down your spine.

"You want me to understand you, after what you did to me?"
