description: Stana The darkness should scare me, but it doesn’t. I don’t know why, but it calms me in a way. I’ve lived my life floating and not really belonging. No real meaning until I met him. He wasn’t what I was looking for and his life was darker than I could ever imagine. He forced me to do things that pushed my boundaries and made me feel like I was finally free. But every high must come down. When we fell, we fell hard. Hurt. Confusion. Heartbreak. Uncertainty. Hate. Used. They were the only things I could feel when it was over. Part of me wanted my old life back and the other part of me just wanted him back. Every instinct told me to stay far away from him, but I didn’t listen. Instead I fell right back into the darkness that made up our world and I never wanted to leave again. Jerick The light in my dark world hit me like a ton of bricks. I never expected her to find me. I hoped like hell that I wouldn’t ruin her, but I did. I watched her from a far for a few months, but when I couldn’t take it any longer, I claimed what was mine. She was mine. Love. Revulsion. Power. Greed. Heartbreak. Loyalty. I was never letting her go. She and I are the same. We hate the darkness inside of us, but it’s what brought us together and it will keep us fighting for our future. Loyalty is tested and we have to stick together if we want to come out of this hell alive. Having her by my side is the only way I’ll survive this shit.
