He stepped back, finally deciding to grab the bag and yank it out of her grasp. “I’ll take this.” He told her, and her lips fumbled to disagree, but then she didn’t. She opened the door, stepping through it, and he followed after. “Where?” She asked. “Which direction are we going?” He nodded towa
When he got to the cabin, he let go of her, fishing for the keys in his pocket. He hadn’t come here in years…and that’s because this place was a nightmare in itself. He used to live here as a child, when everything was okay between his mother and father, he used to play in these woods, run through t

‘I know I said I’d be strong, but I can no longer feign strength, not even for Jake. I’ve tried to be a good mother to him, but all I’ve been doing is making everything worse for him. I’ve proven to be useless over and over again, scarring him. I don’t feel like his mother, I feel like his burden.
