one-shot story (edited)

Holding on was the toughest thing I did in the last twelve years, holding on for her. And as I hold on, the pressure of today and the memory of the past collide, which made me want to escape. 

A quick escape to be exact for I have filled myself with anxiety and guilt. Because if I escape for so long, I might forget the promise I have made, the promise of holding on. 

As she forms a bond with the stars, I form a bond with nature as I escape from the reality. This quick escape has been one of the happiest memory I have made in the last twelve years. 

An escape that turned into a memory. 

A memory when I finally let go of the guilt from the past.

The ties that bind

58 parts Complete

A family that once loved her. A crime she never committed. And a past that won't stay buried. For years, Serena Rossi lived in hell, locked away in a place that felt more like a prison than a school. She was punished for a crime she didn't commit-attempting to murder her twin sister, Sofia. The truth? Buried. Now, after years of silence, Serena's called home-to a family she barely recognizes. Her parents are dead, and her twin sister is alive. But everything has changed. Sofia, the one person Serena loved more than anyone, now sees her as a monster. Her brothers? They can't forgive her. Serena's heart aches as she tries to piece together the truth-about her family, about the betrayal, and about the mother who tried to kill her to hide the twisted secrets of the past. But as the past comes rushing back, someone from the shadows is ready to finish what was started. The lies, the pain, and the broken bonds threaten to tear everything apart. Will the truth ever set them free? Or is it too late to fix what's been broken?
