- He's hurt me. He used me - but now he needs me. And in the end, that desire to be needed may be my greatest addiction of all -
Sam believes in second chances, in redemption - in helping others when they seek to be helped. But when a past lover re-enters her life, utterly lost and broken and needing her to save him, Sam must balance these ideals with her need to protect herself from getting manipulated ever again. Once she's given too much of herself, she has no idea how to stop.
Now she's in too deep. And if she leaves, this might just break him. If she stays - this might just break her.

These characters are partly inspired by a true story. The other part of this inspiration comes from @ScarlettBlackDaisy's book Curing Kyle, which is heartbreakingly beautiful and would recommend everyone to give it a read. I don't mean to plagiarise - if I've written something too similar, please let me know!
Trigger Warning - this book contains reference to schizophrenia, drug use, physical and emotional abuse, depression and suicide. If you aren't comfortable with these topics, then please read at your own risk x
