Thirteen Hours To You

For seventeen years I'd lived in Adalita, Pennsylvania, a town that took pleasure in my torment and refused to leave me as anything but broken. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Four months ago, I left. ⠀⠀⠀⠀I'd driven thirteen hours to Everlee Falls, ⠀⠀⠀Georgia, to live with my Gamma for senior year. I'd moved to give myself the chance to fall in love with a life that I'd missed out on for far too long.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I'd expected to find hope, ⠀⠀⠀⠀I'd hoped to find freedom, ⠀⠀⠀⠀but I'd never expected him.⠀⠀⠀⠀I was too damaged to recognize the beginning.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But all it took was a moment, and he was positive he'd invade every one of mine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀If I pushed, he pulled. If I ran, he followed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀I was his fate.⠀⠀⠀⠀Meekai was my north star.⠀⠀⠀⠀I was what he chose to remember.⠀⠀⠀⠀He was a goodbye my soul refused to forget.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀*Trigger Warning: Please be warned, this duet includes scenes of sexual assault and sensitive subject matter
