The Reunion

I was just an art student from Philly, trying to build a new life.

A small, hopeful spark ignited when Julian Vance, from prestigious Blackwood University, reconnected with me after years.

He seemed different, quieter, and even asked me out to a party.

But I never made it to that party.

Instead, I was ambushed in the school woods by Marcus, Kevin, and Dave – Julian’s friends – a night that became a blur of pain and terror.

And through my agonizing tears, I saw Julian himself, standing at the edge, watching.

Then, he walked away, joining them as they left me shattered.

Years later, the nightmare returned as Julian violently dragged me into his car.

I was held captive in a secluded lake house for months, enduring his baffling accusations and escalating abuse.
