Epilogue:
To be completely honest I didn’t think I would survive. My life had become something I wouldn’t wish on even the man who was the reason for my suffering. Day in and day out was spent trying to go unnoticed and unharmed. There was no more joy left for me, there wasn’t even relief a majority of the time. Not even sleep could save me then. But on just another sad excuse of a day someone changed that.
All of a sudden there was Myles, and I was scared to let myself feel anything about him at all, but I couldn’t help it. He became my sun. His warmth became my one good thing, Myles made enduring life at home just a little more bearable.
When your entire existence becomes something that to you is worth nothing, seeing a reason to pull through is practically impossible. But when someone walks in and gives you the strength to get by, and all it takes is being near them, you have no control over just how important they become.
You may think to keep them at an arms length for your own safety. That by allowing yourself to grow attached to them, let alone anything puts you at a new risk. But you see the thing is it’s worth it. The strong connection you feel can actually be reciprocated, and when you find it I promise it’s the best thing that will ever happen to you. There are still going to be hardships and things you need other external help to go through but that person becomes a part of you, and you a part of them.

“Shit!” I whisper-screamed while jolting up from my warm bed. I turned to my nightstand, picking up my phone to check the time. 7:03 already, welp looks like I don’t get to make breakfast today.. again.
I trudged along to the bathroom and started the shower. Looking to the water stained mirror above the sink proved I needed to bathe, my hair a total mess along with the dried drool down the side of my face. Nothing a quick rinse can’t fix, I guess.
