I still hadn’t been given a date when I would be standing up in court and testifying against my father, but I was determined to make it happen. The last few days with X had shown me that I still had something to live for, and it wasn’t only about the few snatches of happiness I’d experienced while in his arms. If it had all been about him, I would have given up, just as I’d wanted to so many times after my mom died. No, instead X had shown me that, despite everything, and even in the most dire of circumstances, we could still find happiness, even for a short while, and I would have rather have had those few days with X than a lifetime in the black nothingness I’d been caught in before. I was a strong person, and I still had a fight ahead of me, one that would see my father being sent down for the rest of his life. I missed X with every single breath I took, with every heartbeat, with every blink of my eyes, but I wasn’t going to let losing X mean everyone else would win.
No, his loss wouldn’t break me.
My time with X had only made me stronger.
And I would continue to fight.
