Today Brendan came over, and everything was peachy and fine. He even got to meet Peter from work and such. But he kept insisting we leave super early for the water taxi and I was bugging him, trying to get him to stay longer, but we went up to the stairs and I punched him in the kidney, which was dumb I know, but I figured a skinny-ass like me could do no harm. So I pushed him jokingly so he couldn't really get up, but then he turns around and grabs my sweater really hard and tells me to stop. It was very violent and I was a little speachless.
Anyways, so naturally, I'm not sure how to act around him, and I can't really look at him. And he's trying to get me too etc. etc. And he's like what's wrong and I'm like why did you grab me? Anyways he started to cry and I swear it was the most heartbreaking thing ever. He kept saying that he was bad, and that is was bad. I kept trying to tell him it's okay and he kept saying it's not okay. I gave him a hug and I swear I've never felt him hold on to me that tight.
I love him, but things like that confuse me. I think certian things give him flashbacks of his dad. Like this one time I was so mad at him I slapped him and he started to cry. And this time he "hit" me and he starts to cry. I think he's both scared to death of being like his dad and having someone else treat him like his dad did.

Anyways, now I can't stop crying.
Brendan is the best thing to ever happen to me.There are snakes out in the night;
All these kids have gone astray;
There are women with no meaning to their names
When we say them… they are worse to win
For never over sinful days…
So if I ever hurt you
It will be in self-defense
And if I ever hurt you
It will be in self-defense
If you ever come at me
I will hurt you
If you ever come at me
I will hurt you
If you ever come at me,
You snake.
You snake
You snake
You snake
I wish you the best, you snake.
You are self-professed, you snake.
My heart’s in my chest, you snake.
You can have the rest, you snake.
I wish you the best, you snake.
You are self-professed, you snake.
My heart’s in my chest, you snake.
You can have the rest, you snake…
