When I first uploaded this Wattpad cut off the ending so I had to repost it so it's probably best to delete then add this book back into your library to see the full chapter.

Chapter 14- Tell Me Is It True

Devyn

The truth is if you asked me who I am today and how I planned to become the person I want to be, I couldn't tell you.

I had no clue as to what my future may hold or even had a grip on who I was at the moment.. Some type of way I got lost in transition and I'm struggling to keep my head above water.

I vividly remember where I came from and what I've been through that's all I'm holding onto to keep myself from sinking deeper

All I can see is what is right in front of me and even that's vision is fading..

Persistence was the key to the world... I was sure. Everything was all about how long you can stand and prolong against the struggle. How far could you be taken before you reached your breaking point and the point of no return?? It was all a game.

A child like game like dodgeball.. it was all about who you picked to be on your side, in your corner, and on your team. It didn't matter if you cared or liked the person as long as they could protect home court and hurt the people who were the opposition. Survival was only the goal and why or who didn't matter everyone just wanted to be the lone person standing.

The reality of the dark undertone of such a simple game was shocking but it wasn't unrecognizable. People were all for their selves and simple games like such taught children that early-on. The people who got that concept early on were always the ones at first glance ended up being successful in this thing called life and hurt the least. We called those people snakes by nature, backstabbers that you couldn't even blink around because one second was too long to not watch them closely.

We criminalized these people and made them the dark tales that scared little kids straight whenever they strayed from the good wholesome path that we were supposed to be travel. But if everyone was meant to travel such a path then fate wouldn't allow no one to stray from it.

Snakes in the grass that only fended for their selves were meant to be and so were the defenseless souls they preyed against everyday.. The balance of the world required both and persistence made or broke each and every one of the people who stood on either side of the fence.

Everyone needed a snake in the grass on their side or they had to become one every now and then .. it was how the game of persistence worked. No one could ever survive simply by playing by all of the rules and never getting their hands dirty, No One!! And if anyone ever lied and said they maintained and moved throughout life without a single speck of dirt in their ledger was a snake their selves, lying to protect their cover.

I was starting to realize that myself playing by the long list of rules and don't wasn't going to get me the results I wanted or at least as quickly as I wanted them. Patience had never been a strong suit of mine and it wasn't something that I was going to work on improving on now.

If I wanted the answers that I felt were entitled and owed to me then I was going to have to get my hands dirty to get them. The easy way out that would have prevented me from going this far was simple but it was denied to me so no more games would be played.

I had something bigger than me and even my relationship that used to be only described as "us" but now that "us" was drifting towards more of a "me" to protect..
