Loving Affliction: "What do you do when you've made all the wrong choices?"

by Mystique Roberts

"I'VE NEVER BEEN THE 'DESIRED' ONE. I WAS ALWAYS THE SHY, GIRL NEXT DOOR TYPE. I ALWAYS THOUGHT I'D BE ALONE FOREVER, UNTIL I MET MY EX. I RAN INTO THAT RELATIONSHIP HEAD FIRST AND CRASHED. NOW, I'M REBUILDING MYSELF. I HAD SWORN OFF GUYS FOR GOOD, THEN CAME MATTHEW. DARK HAIR, BLUE EYES, AND A SMILE THAT MADE YOU MELT. SO, I SHOVED MY DEMONS AWAY AND THOUGHT HE'D SOMEHOW SHOW ME LIGHT IN A WORLD FULL OF DARKNESS. LITTLE DID I KNOW... HE HAD DEMONS OF HIS OWN; DEMONS THAT I COULD NEVER CONQUER."
