Azalea
I woke up feeling incredibly warm and cozy. I realized once again; I had large arms wrapped around me as well as a leg tangled in between mine. I smiled for a moment, thinking about last night. I was so scared when I saw the shadow move past my window. I have never had anyone mess with me back here. I felt silly calling him, but Liam came anyway. He did not make me feel silly or stupid. He just took care of me like no one ever has.
I have always been a big girl, always taking care of myself. About a year after my parents died, I told myself I had to stop crying and grow up. I can’t say it never happened living in the packhouse; there were definitely times where the tears broke through my wall. But I learned to lock everything away and face my reality. I learned to survive.
