Cherish

MeredithOkay, maybe running away from my family and moving cross country with my boyfriend was a bad idea. A really bad idea.For two years I let a man dull my shine and to leave me beaten and broken until I couldn't take any more.With a new life growing inside me, I know it's time for me to go back home, even if my family never forgives me for the hurt I have caused.The last thing I'm looking for is for someone to save, especially when I'm trying to save myself.But something about Beck pulls me in.BeckI'm a horrible person. I know it and so does everyone else.Everyday it gets harder to dull the pain and forget the past.After waking up in a seedy hotel with a woman I don't even recognize, I'm sure my life isn't even worth it any more.I'm just about to end it all when my salvation stumbles into my lap.Meredith has every reason to push me away. But, I'm determined to prove to her (and myself) that I am the better man.
