“I need to get back on my feet. I can’t always run away and be afraid for myself and my son. I need to be stronger to protect Reagan.” It’s what I told Rael, and the thought has been looping in my head since the night Darius found me on the road.
Rael was there to take me away, and save me for the nth time… but what if he wasn’t? What if next time, I’m all alone and Rael is far too far to reach me?
What if next time, I’m alone with Reagan and I’m the only one he depends on to fight for him?
I can’t just pathetically cry and have a panic attack all over again. Escaping is one thing, but at dire times, I could not; I should be able to fight for myself and defend Reagan when needed. Even just to give him a little bit more time to escape.
So now, here I was at the backyard of Gin
