Redemption

𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬

Even before finishing school I knew I wanted to get away from here, this city that held too many memories. But now that I've graduated and have come crawling back whilst I figure out what to do with my life.. I'm stuck here.

Bumping into old friends was on my list of things to avoid but you can only walk so far in a small city before seeing someone you know. And now the dark shadow from my past has come stalking back to finish what was started. For putting him in jail with scars that'll never recover.

But I was never afraid. I'll fight with everything I have. No one can take what I do not give easily. My scars have made me stronger and I'll raise hell is anyone tries to make me feel otherwise.

The races have started again after three years of nothing.
My body is itching to go. To join, to race, to win like it's my birthright. For Grey.
I tell myself it's the money but I know this is more than that. I need a purpose again in my life. Something to look forward to or I'll continue rotting away like I am. There's too much on my mind and I feel numb. I haven't got much more to lose than this fucked up life I'm living anyway. There's only so much to take before you fall.

Then she comes walking back like she never left without a word or goodbye. Like she was too good for us and for this city . Me and her, we have unfinished business. No matter how much she tries to avoid it our paths will clash again.

The past follows us all, whether we want it to or not. There is no end to it until we face it head on: bury and burn it to the ground for good.
