Against All Odds

He was my best friend until he wasn’t.

One night was all it took to change everything.

A night that I can’t remember.

I went from friend to public enemy number one.

Bullied and harassed every day in the hell hole called high school

Life only gets worse after the death of my mother.

I was thrust into the role of caretaker to keep me and my sister together.

Struggle and secrets are what my life has become, doing whatever it takes.

Working at the only job I could find to pay our bills and keep food on the table.

But everything changes after I catch the unwanted attention of a man and the arrival of three brothers.

Men start to pop out of the woodwork wanting to care for me until it all comes to a head, and I risk losing the one thing that means the most to me.

What happens when secrets are revealed and truths come to light?

Opinions change and forgiveness is sought, but is it too late?

I’m a fighter and I’m going to beat the odds. It’s time I stop taking the abuse and fight back.
