Watching My Childhood Sweetheart Destroy Himself
458 Views · Ongoing · Daisy Swift
The boy I grew up with was this town's star quarterback.
Everyone saw him as the golden boy.
Yet, for a delinquent, he willingly threw away his athletic career and plunged headfirst into the local drug ring.
Desperate to pull him back from the edge, I tipped off the police about the drug den, hoping it would be his wake-up call.
Instead, he hated me to the bone for it.
To prove his loyalty to his "true love"—and to punish me—he gave our home security code to a crew of methed-up thugs.
They broke in and put a bullet through my parents' heads, wiping out my entire family.
It wasn't until I took a bullet to the chest and lay choking on my own blood, staring at a mocking text from him, that I finally woke up.
But fate, it turns out, decided to give me a second chance.
