After my mother and brothers death, I tried to piece my life back together. I pretended my life was perfect, that nothing had even happened. And for a long time, even I believed it. I went along ignoring the pain in my chest, a constant reminder of my loss. I even pretended my father and I were perfectly fine, though I knew I was a painful reminder of my mother.
For years my life was "picture perfect". The successful step mother and gorgeous identical twins as step brothers; to everyone we seemed to have moved on from that fateful day.
But apperantly someone was still caught up in the past. All of a sudden my life is flipped upsidedown. Forced to endure things I had never known imaginable, I have to fight the biggest battle yet. The one for my life and the one for my heart.
