For almost 3 years, I've been trapped in my own personal hell. After my mum left, people's true colours came to light and ever since, I've had to push and fight to keep surviving, trying to maintain my sanity. I've lost so much already at the hands of my family.
My fire's burning out more and more everyday, but thankfully, my brothers help to keep me partially together. They're the only ones I have left...
Until I find them. Nate, Brad and Ryker. My people. They break down my walls and gain access to my bruised and broken heart.
They breathe life into me, they show me love, care and attention that I haven't had the joy of feeling for years. They want to help, they vow to keep me safe. But how do I let them do that without getting them or myself hurt in the midst of it all by the 'family' that surrounds me?
People from the past come back, secrets are exposed and terror and fear is forced into us all.
Will we get our happy ending? Or will the labyrinth of our own survival prove to be hopeless?
