Power (Powers Brothers)

by Cassandra Robbins

Why do I always think of great comebacks afterward? I hate that.

This is what I do when my mom traumatizes me. I either act out like a child, or I do the opposite.

I should leave. I’m super nervous, and why torture myself? I wanted to get out of the house. I’m out. Now I want to watch Friends and order room service.

Clearly, deep down inside, I hoped he was going to come after me. Which is pathetic,

Love. It’s what humans seek from the time we are born until we draw our last breath. It’s more powerful than any other emotion we feel. It can cause unlimited damage and pain, but it can also be our savior.
