I've spent the last eight years focused on one thing, and one thing only. Revenge.
I've kept people at a distance. Didn't let anyone under my skin.
I had my rules and they worked well.
Until they didn't.
Four men worked their way in without me even noticing.

I thought I was shattered. Broken beyond repair.
I thought there was nothing left to break.
I thought I could do this on my own.
I was wrong.
Four men showed me just how much further I had to fall.

I can't abandon all that I've fought for.
I can't give up my revenge.
I can't let the sins against me go unpunished.
I couldn't choose them.
Four men showed me just how ruined I was.

A vital missing piece of who I am.
A heartless coward, running scared.
A violent storm that vanished as quickly as she crashed into my life.
A ray of hope that was snatched away.
A pretty broken little thing.
One woman who ties the rest of us together.

I'm not the only thing shattered anymore. Everything is.
And this time, I don't know how to fit the pieces back together.
