Love & Redemption

My demons always follow me … Despite having to testify against my father, the rest of my life seems to finally be getting on track. I get to perform with Hendrix, my friends support me, I once again have love and am finding happiness. But every time I think I can claw my way out of the darkness, it sucks me back down. A storm rips through town, killing hundreds, injuring more. Including Hendrix. He lingers in a coma for weeks before finally waking up. When he does, nothing is the same. When my father gets off on a technicality, he comes after me in retaliation. I can’t leave my past behind no matter how far I try to run. Nowhere is safe. I’m a target at home and a target at school. Will there ever be a time when I can just be safe and happy? Or am I not allowed to have a happily ever after?
