Previous Parts: Here

I’m sitting outside. It’s warm for being winter. In Vancouver you don’t often get days in the middle of winter, so I am trying to enjoy it. I’m sitting on the back deck with my face turned up toward the sun.

No more darkness.

These days I only get the brightest of light. Even the bad days are ok because I know Jared has what I need. I know when I can’t control myself anymore that he’ll help me. I know all I ever have to do is ask and he’ll give me what I need. He’s my life, he’s my heart, he’s my soul, he’s my very existence.

Safety can always be found no further than inside his arms. Forgiveness can always be found in a tender smile and a softly spoken word.

I don’t hide anymore. I don’t keep things from him. It’s counterproductive. Only by giving him what he needs, do I get what I need. He supports me. He believes me. He encourages me.

We came out. It was mostly an accident. I went to a Leverage event, and forgot to take it off. My collar was such a part of me that it didn’t even occur to me to take it off. Unfortunately one of them damn photographers noticed and rumors were lightin’ up the rags the next day. Quietly, Jared stepped up and planted himself by my side where he belongs.

Things were weird for awhile after that. We each had people we’d considered close friends condemn our actions. Jared got some hate mail calling him an abuser. I know I have lost some people. There are some that just don’t understand us. Jay had an ugly incident on set with a crew member who accused him of abusing her on set, but we stood strong. We believed, our friends believed, and in the end the truth won out.

All in all, my life is full of light now. The darkness has no place in my life any longer. I know what I want. I know what I need. Most of all, I know who I need.

I need him.

I need Jared.

My love.

My light.

My life.

The End
