A Love Worth Fighting For

"I need him off of me! Why did I let him touch me?" She collapses onto the floor and rests her head against the tile. "Why doesn't anyone who is good ever want me?" I reach over and lightly touch the bruise on her neck. "This isn't your fault, Alicia." "It is." "No. Wanting to be held and touched and to feel good... that's nothing to be ashamed about. It's a basic need to want to feel affection...to feel good. But how did he do it was wrong. You don't need to feel dirty. A decent man wouldn't use your body or any woman's body to degrade her." I kiss the bruises on her arms and kiss the bruise on her hip. "I would never." *** On the surface, 28-year-old Alicia Johnson has it all.
