I think I might have stopped breathing just for a little bit while I was reading this chapter.
It was very intense.
I'm glad it wasnt really Gerard doing those things to her but I still admire her for being able to completely seperate the two, I'm not sure I could let him back in that easily.
I hope he doesnt make things worse by completely backing off 'to protect her' but I suppose if he does then atleast he's doing it for the right reasons, and not just because he wants to remain detatched and carry on lying to himself and such.
I'm hoping that the dreams aren't more like premonitions, and that Gerard isnt used like a vessel like that again coz that would be the perfect way to hurt her.
Absolutely loved this chapter, can't wait for more.
