Watching the love of my life get carried away in handcuffs was devastating. It sent me spiraling out of control. It sent me spiraling right into the arms of bad decisions and confusion. I was supposed to stay away from my brother. Our history was too painful and convoluted to unlock again. He couldn’t always wash my troubles away. He was my security blanket though. He was my safe haven. Even though I knew ignoring the rules would only bring drama… I did it anyway. Now I had to fix it. My love fought for me and ended up in jail. Now I had to fight for him. I had to show him I could separate myself from my brother once and for all. It was time for the dirty family secrets to see the light of day. There could be no more hiding. No more running. It was time to grow up.
