Dear Lily, 

Okay, as promised, here is the rest of the story.

I sprinted down the hall, into the kitchen and jumped on top of Marcus and tried to rake at his eyes with a strength I had no idea I had. I heard Rose and Deidre scream, but it didn’t register. You know how when people say they saw red? Well, I saw red when I looked at Marcus and reacted accordingly. 

“You God-damned bastard. You no good copper bastard!” Tears that felt like boiling water streamed from my eyes. Marcus hardly had a chance to react when Toby pulled me off him. I tried to kick him because tearing Marcus’s eyes out was more satisfying than Toby’s embrace. Plus, I was still angry with him too. I was angry with everyone, even God.

&nbs...
