Bad Habits

When tensions are high, and everything is on the brink of collapse, Lou knows exactly how to block it all out. Or so, her mind does. As far as she knows, she has done the best with what she's had thus far.

Nevertheless, she finds herself turning back to those bad habits each and every day, and when the crawling beneath her skin and the destruction she's able to cause frightens her - burning questions begin to plague her every waking moment.
What if nothing will ever be enough to make things right? What if this is all there is?

It's only when the bitter taste of the word "family" on her tongue is just too much, when friendships have turned to threats, when love has made her cold and childishly petty,
and when one lonely stranger shows up to haunt her, will she finally understand how it could be possible to truly live again.

But will she find herself whole by the end of it.
