Aaron rubbed Dakota's head, and said, "I'm not going to hurt you, little girl. I promise." He wasn't like other people. But, in a way, when he f---ed up, he really f---ed up. Like now, for example.

Mariah bit her lip nervously and turned away as Rhiannon left. She didn't want to watch what would happen next. The air grew cold and everything stopped and grew silent. Aaron sucked in a hard breath of air. He couldn't breathe, couldn't see, couldn't think. "Sh!t," he whispered to no one in particular. "I've really f---ed up this time. The devil laughs in my face again. I hate life. I hate living. I hate it! Hate it! Hate it! Hate it!"

Mariah closed her eyes, praying this wouldn't get violent. She didn't want to see Aaron get himself hurt anymore than he already was. Aaron's deep, but sharp voice cut through her like a knife, "Mariah, I'm going back to the inn."

Mariah looked at him, and her chin trembled violently. She swallowed hard, praying he was planning to do what she thought he was. "O-okay, Aaron. Do you want me to take Dakota back to the barn for you?"

Aaron looked around at her as he stood. "That'll be fine, Mariah. I need some time to think and find something inside myself," he said, his voice cold.

Mariah paused, and she asked, "No playing with knives, okay?"

Aaron shot her a dirty look, and snapped, "Why not? Nobody gives a damn! I'd be better off dead and out of everyone's life than where I stand right now! I'm f---ing everything up, and there's no point in hurting anyone else anymore! I never had parents that stopped to help me along the way, you know that? This is why I'm as screwed up as I am now! My mind is about to crack up! I can't take this, Mariah! I don't know wrong from right anymore! I have every right to do whatever I want to myself because of it! You understand me?"

Mariah backed down, hurt and worried. Her chin trembled. Aaron never yelled at her like this. Something in the pit of her stomach warned her that things were going to get even worse. "Yes sir," she said like she would her father. "But don't blame your father for this, Lord rest his soul. Don't blame me either, Aaron Lewis! I give a damn about you, and you know that," she said softly.

Aaron frowned, and said, "I can't blame it on anyone but myself, Mariah," he said, his tone growing hoarse and quiet, on the verge of tears. "I'm giving up," he said. He twisted himself around frantically on his crutches and headed back to the inn. Mariah bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. "Oh God. Oh God. Oh God," she said over and over again as she slid down on the steps beside Dakota.
