Strong (A Luke Hemmings Fanfiction)

"Strength is not confined to muscle, but disperses into everyday aspect of everyday life. It means being there for those you care most about, and having the confidence to stand firm in their defense; to "take the bullet".

The dreams that cling to your lashes in your sleep are shattered so suddenly upon awakening, and reality comes in such a way as to smash the beauty in your dreams and replace it with grim truth about the way things are. When such things happen, it is often a matter of defaulting to curling up in a corner and waiting for the dream to come again. But as dawn always chases dark back into the earth, so there will always be, at least, one person who will shed light on this dark reality."
