I screamed into my pillow. I was angry, scared, uncomfortable. I cried that night from so much pain. I had not felt so much heaviness in my heart before. It was a new feeling, and it felt like betrayal.
I was not going to rest until Stacy got what she deserved. I was going to actively work against her. I was going to work against the woman that birthed me and neglected her motherly duties.
All she did for me was out of pity, just so I did not feel left out. It was not like she genuinely wanted to do those things.
I slept that night knowing that I had a mission to complete, and I was going to start chasing after it the next day.

Nine days to Kolin's first birthday.

I woke up with a banging headache. I remembered sleeping that night with so much sadness in my heart but when I woke up, it was like I had just gotten a huge weight lifted off my shoulder.
