Phoebe glanced at Travis who was sleeping beside her, hugging her chest. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment, and involuntarily burst into tears. The woman glanced back at her lover, feeling unable to leave him.
'I don't know why it has to be this way, Travis... I don't want to hurt you either... But I can't stand it either... Your dad will never let me be happy with you... He will use any way to separate us ....and if I say all this, you're going to hate him, it's like I'm keeping you away from him… It's going to make me mean to you two,' Phoebe thought through tears, imagining the possibilities of holding on or not.
