I’m Gonna Let Go, I’ll Be Back

As she lays there in mental anguish, all she can think is when will they be here, her brother and cousin a distant brother and cousin, but they know her real life, so yes she would follow them anywhere, she just didn’t know where.

Little did she know that the only people that can make her feel at peace now, are going to take her hand into a realm she never experienced or expected.

Finally they show up, just like she thought they might, but it’s only her brother, no cousin. For that reason he grabs her hand and they start running off into the distance.

“Where are you taking me” she repeatedly asked.

“Somewhere you need to be” he replied. As they run through tall grass and some rocky areas, they arrive at the ledge, to her surprise he grips her hand and take her with him and jumps.

Then proceeds to tell her, survive this and yes, I’ll take you to the person you consider home. That’s when she closed her eyes and hoped for the best, after all it was completely out of her control at this point. It was in someone she didn’t really know, but he knows her and has to know the anguish she’s endured and finally decided to claim what has been his since 1992, close out all the bums, burn it down, fence it up and let’s build the perfect spot for when life just becomes too much. Instead of checking out constantly, to the point I have you transferred to a hospital, this place will be your check out. Anytime you once called your dad when bad thoughts crept up, you can now come here, never feel alone and have the fun you never had, but first it’s time to get rid of these roach people and that’s when he let her go, scared and hopeful she fell and fell and fell for what seemed like 11 years, then she endured things her father would kill over, suddenly she survived. Did she relapse on a deep dark secret she has, yes she did, but she’s not dead and she survived.

It’s time to live reality. With her chosen family.
