So much could change in a moment, a lot can change in five years. Five years, that’s how long it’s been since I’ve seen Jared. Five years to the day when I was dragged from his arms kicking and screaming. Now, after years of putting my life back together, I have to face my abusers. But having a chance to see Jared again, makes it all worthwhile. When I finally see Jared, the impact is more than I could have imagined, the connection that we shared feels stronger, but seeing him also brings back my past. A past I would rather forget. The closer we get soon shows me that I wasn’t the only one damaged from our past. But Jared’s secrets seem far deeper than anything I could imagine. So together, we must face our demons, stand up and speak out against the ones who hurt us. Everything comes with a price, I just hope it’s a price we can afford to pay.
