Every day.
Every minute.
Every second, was a struggle.
Knowing that at any moment, Jessica could come back, and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She could only hope, and pray that she would be strong enough to fight her off this time.
The last thing she wanted was to have more precious moments stolen from her because of the dangerous apparition that possessed her.
And through all the past chaos that had ensued before, there was only ever one thing, one person, that kept her sane.
One person that always managed to make her see clearly, that managed to pull her back to reality, kept her life moving forward, and helped to heal old scars.
Or at least make them less noticeable.
Most of all, that person made life all worth while.
And that 'person' happened to be her son; Micah.
He was quite the trooper, really.
Staying with her when times were hard, believing in her when she doubted herself, and caring for her when no one else would.
She and him both knew that there was nothing she could do when Jessica was in control. But still, he stayed with her, because he had faith that she was strong enough to fight her.
And for those reasons, she promised herself that she would do everything in her power to keep him safe.
No matter what the consequences.
Because every second spent with Micah, was worth the struggle.
