Chapter Title: (29) Armour-01

Seven years ago, Marley's brother and mother disappeared without a trace. And after a thorough police investigation, by choice.

They both left her behind with her constantly drunk rowdy father, who could hardly keep a mediocre factory job and the roof over their heads. Marley has been through hell and back. She's spent nights crying herself to sleep, alone and empty. Holiday's wondering what they would be like if she had a family to celebrate with. Her birthday ruined forever, because the one thing she's always wanted was something she'd never, ever receive. Marley has been through hell and back.

And when you go through something terrible, the first thing you think beyond the grief is that 'I've peaked'.
