RICCA
You can’t outrun your past, a
mistake I learned the hard way.
Stripped of my innocence in the
middle of the Californian desert, I waited for death.
Then he appeared.
My vengeful angel.
He’s everything I’m not.
He’s everything I want.
He’s everything I can never have.
RATCHET
I will not let my past define me.
Abandoned by my mother as a child,
I would be dead if it weren’t for Jagger. He took me into the Heaven’s Rejects
and saved my life.
Now I want to save hers.
The superficial cuts and bruises
on her delicate skin, don’t compare to the pain lurking in her heart.
The pain I want to save her from.
Somehow, I will find a way to get
through to her.
Come hell or high water, she will
be mine.
Absolution is a story about love conquering all. About trust. About
believing there is good in another. Even though the water looks murky, wade
through it and find your serenity.
There seems to be a knight in shining armor, in Jude “Ratchet” Azzo.
Even if he rode in on a white horse, Ratchet never knew he could be this man,
because he never had a reason to be this man. Until HER.
Erica “Ricca” Delmont was dealt a horrible hand in life. A mother who
treated her like trash and then handed her over to men who would use and abuse
her. Ricca had no reason to better herself and she felt as though she didn’t
deserve a good life. Why would Ratchet want a woman like her? She was worthless.
The day that Ratchet saved Ricca from that hellacious life, he was a
changed man. He knew that he wanted her in his life, but he just didn’t know
how to communicate that he did. Ricca left before he could tell her, but she
left for good reason. I can’t give up what that reason is, but it is a good
one! One that will further bring these two together. Even though Ricca pushes
Ratchet away, he refuses to give up. He needs her in his life and he in hers;
although Ricca just doesn’t know it yet.
The ending left me in shock and awe. What are you doing to me Avelyn?
I need to know what happens!! Please tell me that I won’t have to wait for
long!! There definitely is a cliff hanger, but a good one. Wow .. I just can’t wait
for what you have in store for us next!
“You’re okay. They’re dead and
can’t hurt you anymore,” I mumble and repeat in some stupid fucking mantra to
keep the memories at bay. Every morning starts like this. Sure, maybe I did
need go back to my victim group counseling sessions, but I knew the Kumbaya
mentality they used couldn’t help me. The demons in my head were of my own
creation, and they were never just going to go away by telling others who
thought they were like me about them. I couldn’t forgive the men for the things
that they did to my body and even with their deaths, my mind would never be
able to see the world the same way. They took the last shred of my innocence
out in that desert, and it was something that I was never going to be able to
get back, even if I had ruby red slippers, clicked my heels, and said it three
times.
Life isn’t a fucking fairy tale.
And no matter how hard I hoped he would be, Ratchet was definitely not Prince
Charming. The knight in shining armor isn’t real, and he was never going to
ride a horse to my tower of terror.
