Chapter 1

I had to flee. To escape. I couldn't take the pain of people telling me to be okay. That I was a survivor.

But what about me being a victim?

All because a few people refused to hear me when I said no.

Now I carry around pain, fear, a disgusting feeling that is also there. Behind me. In the shadows.

But maybe he'll be the light.
