She thinks she’s not good enough; I know I’m not good enough for her.
To say my family is screwed up is an understatement. But no one knows what happens in the big mansion on the hill. My mom abuses everyone: the help, my dad…me. Yeah, that’s the stuff people don’t talk about, right? Then there’s my uncle. He likes boys…girls…anyone vulnerable to him. No one knows about that. But I do. I’ve learned how to stay safe. How to bide my time, hide and throw one hell of a punch. Whatever is necessary.
Then there’s Reba. She works for my family, and I’ve been in love with her since almost the day I first laid eyes on her. My uncle has eyes on her, too. Thankfully, she’s been safe so far, but the stakes are rising. Now, it’s up to me. I’ll do anything I have to, to keep her safe, to bide my time until she finds me worthy of her love. If that ever happens.
If I have to, I’ll wait forever. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
