Dominic
After my father died, I lost myself. I turned to partying, shoplifting, even girls. But it didn’t matter what substance I pumped into my body, what girl I took to bed; none of them could erase Hazel. She stuck by my side during my darkest moments, never judging me once. But after I got into some legal trouble, I found myself in a deeper hole. Like the good uncle he was, he came to my rescue. But what I didn’t know then, was that not all family had your best interest at heart. He roped me in, pulled me into his world, and forced me to do his bidding. In order to keep my sister and best friend safe, I had to keep doing what I was doing, or risk losing them both.
