All The Ugly Things

One night changed everything.

In a single breath my entire future was ripped away.

Now I'm left simply trying to pick up the pieces.

Endless nights waiting tables in hopes of keeping a single piece of the dream I left behind.

He came for pie with dark eyes and a cocky smile.

But those eyes saw more than they should.

Past my walls to all those secrets I'd long buried.

That should've been my first warning.

I should've said no when he offered me a job too good to be true.

But I said yes.

Slowly friendship sparked to something more. 

Stolen moments became an obsession neither of us could kick.

Hudson gave me more than I'd ever dreamed.

So much of what I had lost.

A home. A family.

I should've known it was all a beautiful lie.

I should've known he'd only leave me with all the ugly things...
