“No, Ted, please Don’t walk away like this”

“I don’t have a choice here Chloe I have to…… I have to”

“No… please …” I cry after him but he doesn’t seem to care “Ted…”

Without a final kiss, a goodbye, or even a glance as he walks away froarden He just destroyed ht now” in astarted, so why does this feel like the end?

Maybe the way that he just tossed me aside is proof that we aren’t meant to be after all

Chapter 2 – Ted

Six Years Later…

Fuck this, fuck this place, fuck all of it Why the hell am I here? Honestly, as I lie on this shitty couch in my cousin’s shitty apartment which has doubled as my bed for the last six years, I can’t help but wonder how the fuck I got here Growing up, I pictured my life so much differently than this

My e She didn’t want ht over it so erous But Stix convinced oing to benefit all of us,safety for everyone Too bad at the time, I didn’t realize that my family needed protection because of what Stix does God I aanization that is less that legal, running errands

I suppose I could advance and do et out of this if possible, but I don’t think that I can This is one of those deals where you are in for life

Fucking family… real family should want better for you Family should want you to beco on the couch on what reed to “help thened , I didn’t realize that I had a choice, and now I’m stuck This is all I have now I don’t even have ainst their wishes and ran off with la, not so ht I had to go My parents don’t really talk to me anymore because of that

“Yo, Teddy Boy,” Stix growls at s,up his nose I’ht be a prostitute How am I in the ht me so much better and this is where I ended up “Pass me a drink”

I don’t want to move, but I also can’t deal with another one of Stix’s tantrums The older cousin, who I used to think was so est loser ever I wish I had seen it before, but now it’s all that I can see Stix is scum of the earth, and my uncle isn’t much better

As I haul et him a beer, because that’s all he ever drinks I honestly don’t kno he’s still alive, all he does is drink and do drugs I could have avoided all of this If only I had listened to Chloe Sed nored her Of course, I wasn’t aware that I was leaving ho, but I still should have listened to her She wanted me to wait until my mom caed edme to come home, and I didn’t Because I’m an asshole

I don’t knohat happened to Chloe because I stopped co her into this ot a good job, and would have lived happily ever after with her Wea norers
