Kyle
Everyone is addicted to something. It's human nature. Part of what makes us tick.
People who say they aren't addicted to at least one thing are just addicted to being in denial, and that's okay. Me? Well, I've been in full-blown acceptance of my many addictions for quite some time. Some of them I hate. Others I deal with. Some I absolutely love. One of them, I can't make up my mind about - Sarah Levitz.
But sometimes what we want becomes this poisonous, soul-eating reflection of what we can't have; of what betrayed us, ripped out everything that was good and stomped it into the dirt. Like the heart that's not in my chest anymore because she tore it out and buried it in her grandma's backyard next to the time-capsule we were supposed to dig up together in a future that's no longer ours.
Sarah
I know I ain't smart. I maybe ain't as bad with learnin' like my brother Saul, but he did go to U of T while I barely managed my GED. It's hard - finishing high school while you're eight months pregnant. Sure, I could'a fit into a graduation gown, but no way in Hell was I gonna waddle my ass across stage so all the two-faced bitches could gawk and whisper.
While others were walking across stage and being handed a roll of paper, I was being handed a beautiful baby girl. When they set her in my arms and the sunlight lit up her sweet, chubby face, I knew I was the luckiest momma alive. That precious angel was mine to cherish, my little Kylie, and damn straight, I was gonna do right by her. Even if I couldn't do right by no one else.
Even if I couldn't do right by her father.
