"I know, it's hard." She knew exactly how it felt to have Taila pulling at the parts of you that you didn't want to see. Airy had gotten used to the feeling but Cassidy hadn't. He hadn't had to deal with a lot of it but it was enough to hurt and Airy had never meant for that to happen.
It was hurt fault that Taila had been able to hurt him. She hadn't been strong enough.
Her shoulders tensed at his question and she closed her eyes. Airy had been weak and in pieces when Cassidy had walked in on her and Taila but she'd heard everything as if it had been whispered perfectly in her ear.
She took a deep breath and then leaned against Cassidy. It was a little awkward since they were sitting in an odd position but Airy didn't care. "Not the first time I've physically been with someone or the first person I dated but... yeah, you're the first person I've ever truly loved... been in love with." She supposed that was the distinction.
Airy hadn't actually told Cassidy any of this. That had been her fear, the simple terror that he would leave and her heart would shatter. This world was already taking it's toll on her but she was trying to keep herself together.
