Amelia's Point of View
How on earth could anyone even begin to process the amount of pain that Payton had endured? It must be devastating.
Peyton's story was so sad and so violent, that there was no way I could contain my emotions. I was so angry about everything he'd been through that I wanted to bring everyone that had hurt him back to life so that they could be killed all over again. I wanted to torture them relentlessly, without showing the slightest hint of mercy. The ultimate betrayal, though, was what his father had done. And, although it was on a much smaller scale, my mother had done exactly the same to me. She'd betrayed us both. The pain I felt was so intense that I turned into a giant howling mess.
I sobbed for a long time, until I had no more tears left to cry. Peyt
