And we didn't. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe ran away. \u003cbr\u003eI tried to move on. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet I never stopped thinking about the boy who had fought to keep me alive in a world that would have swallowed me whole. He was the past that I buried, but never forgot. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntil the day I found him again, years after believing I had lost him forever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd in cold, resentful eyes, I saw the heart of the man who had been everything when I had nothing at all. So I vowed to hold onto the second chance that was stolen from the children we had been. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSometimes fate is ugly. Life can be twisted. \u003cbr\u003eAnd who we are can be ruined by who we once were. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor two people who had survived so much, we would have to learn how to hold on before we were forced to let go. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**trigger warning- contains mature themes that are intense and imply abuse, though are not graphic**","brand":"A.
