Ending the Ghost of My Pain

Summary

The day my sister, Rylee, ran off with Cruz, the low-life she was dating, I did what my parents, Helen and George, told me to do: I went to find her.

I never thought I’d be the one dragged into a dark alleyway and brutalized by Cruz and his friends.

Rylee passed out cold right there, a neat little heap of shock. Me? I was left a mess of torn skin and spilled blood, fading in and out of consciousness for ten months in the ICU.

When I finally woke up, Mom and Dad were holding a newborn baby.
