You had quite the past with people you used to recall as your "friends." People like them was why you didn't let anyone get too close to you, in fear of them being the same and ditching you.

But, when you met Larry, it was like everything changed. Suddenly, you wanted to go down to the basement of the Addison Apartments every Friday and Saturday, your (guardian) absolutely loved how you were getting out more. Your siblings? Not so much. Who else will they annoy? Each other? Absolutely not.

When you met Larry, right away you knew, he would never ever, EVER, hurt you.

He was the bright light in your life, and like many people do, you craved the feeling of it. After being in the dark for so long, the brightness was the best change in your entire life.
