I love you, but that love no longer has a place in my life. It makes me need to run, to escape, because I don't want to deal with it. And hating you… hating you is the only way I know to protect myself from that feeling I no longer want to feel.

"Emma, do you even hear yourself? You're saying you love me while simultaneously wanting to hate me. How do you think that makes me feel?"
