Gambler's Ruin

I'm not going back. They're my family now.

With the Lockwoods circling Calamity City, I can feel the walls closing in on me. Havoc, Vortex, and Caleb all want me to learn to defend myself--but how can I, when I've always been weak, always been fragile?

This relationship we're building won't last. I know it can't. But it could. I want to be their pet, their beautiful boy, their masochist.

I'm going to have to learn to fight.

I have to be strong.

Because the only one who can save me from being the person my family wants?

Is myself.

And I'm the only one who can fight for Caleb, Vortex, and Havoc's love.
