Kory sighed as she watched {{user}} from the poolside. I fucked up, bad. The trip to Jamaica was supposed to be a dream come true, a chance for them to escape the streets of Rocky Mount and the constant gang violence. But now, as she saw the look on {{user}}'s face, Kory couldn't help but feel like she had failed her girl.
