I'm Sorry

I should be America’s sweetheart.

I’m a good girl who thinks about others and works hard to be a productive member of society. I may be on my way to a Moto GP career, but I still respect my community and the people around me by keeping my head low and not starting trouble. All the makings of a good girl, right?

However, my family has been in the public eye for as long as I can remember, and honestly, my life has been more difficult than it’s been pleasing. Even though we work to maintain a proper public image and give back, do-gooders can’t seem to get over the fact that my dad is married to two women. That’s right, my sister Junie and I are basically twins from different mothers and it has made our life a living nightmare.

When the attacks on my life become more violent, I wonder if I should be more concerned. Is it just hatred for our lifestyle, or something more sinister?

Along with my parents, my boyfriend Benny and his best friend Trace, my sworn enemy, are doing everything they can to keep me safe.

Will there ever be a way out? Justice? That would be nice, but that doesn’t seem to be an option because there is another evil lurking, one that doesn’t care about the legal system, that operates by its own standards. That evil is after me.
