"I don't know if it will help," Poe replied, bluntly. "But I refuse to hurt you. And I am. So. If I can't be trusted to be around you, I shouldn't be. End of story."

He still couldn't actually look at Finn while he said it, and his voice sounded as broken as his heart.

It also didn't sound like something he fully believed. It was something he was trying to tell himself but couldn't fully commit to. Couldn't completely understand why this wasn't okay, just that somehow it wasn't. He didn't want Finn hurt. He didn't want Finn to hate him. And since he didn't know what he was doing to do it...

"I don't know how to - I only know how to do it this way."
