Irrevocably HIS

Serenity Romance

I met him when we were kids, unwanted children to grow up in the foster care system, wondering if and when anybody would want us, if ever even. He was my bully, my shadow, my protector. I was the Twerp to his Oscar the Grouch, which seems stupid but it what I was used to when I was that age.
I always looked up to him, always knew he was around even when he thought I didn't notice. He was mine as I was his, until I was adopted by a family who wanted nothing more than to give love to a child after losing their own to cancer.
Like I said, I was merely a child wanting a chance at being called someone's daughter, even though I just might have somebody else's everything, only leaving him behind to rot.
My parents loved me with everything they had to give, and raised me to be the strong, independent, loving life woman I am today. Now, I am about to embark on a new journey, a life after college in the Big Apple. Little do I know that my past would be there, ready with a vengeance, always watching, waiting to strike the prey for the predator to catch when she is least bit aware. However, I am not the same girl he once knew.
I don't cower. I don't fear.
I honestly welcome the past to haunt me as much as he wants, thinking he is getting back at me for leaving.
If he thinks I'll beg for forgiveness, he is sorely mistaken.
