It's been days, and still, no matter how hard I push myself, I can't escape the anger that now lives inside me. It's frightening and all-consuming in a way not even my grief had been. It was hard enough dealing with my mother being gone at such a young age, enduring the things I have with her not here.
I'd learned to keep my head down and wait for the day I could make my escape, but now, there's no way I'm leaving without that bitch's head. "Hey!" Hey, Gianna, calm down, come here." I felt Gabriel's arms come around me from behind me, pulling me back away from the punching bag in the home gym. I'd forgotten he was here.
