Love Set Me Free by Cyn
I was never supposed to love Kydrick, but his arrest changed everything.
Me, Kydrick, and my ex best friend, Janelle, grew up together. We did everything together, until high school changed everything. They became a couple, and I hid the feelings that had always lingered.
It stayed like that for five grueling years, until our freshman year of college. A party changed the course of all our lives. Actually… a girl did. Annie Taylor. One false accusation from her and the dean’s son, and Kydrick’s future was gone in the blink of an eye.
Kydrick is now behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit. And how do I know? Because I was with him when said crime supposedly happened.
Janelle swore she’d stand by him.
She didn’t.
I did.
For twelve years, I fought for his freedom. I screamed the truth from the rooftops and studied law, vowing to get him out. And when that day finally came, the man who came out of those prison walls wasn’t the same. He’s cold. Menacing. He doesn’t know how to let love in. Too many people have abandoned him. Too many people have let him down.
The only thing I can do now is pray the shackles of his past don’t hold him back from true freedom… and true love.
