Some people are built from love.
This one was not.

Kandy Williamson, called Kai on stage and in the mouths of strangers, was a creature who had been ruined before she had been built. She grew up in a house where the floor was a graveyard of needles and the air smelled like burning metal. Her parents were shadows with hollow eyes, voices that only ever rose to scream or to beg, and when they finally collapsed under the weight of their addictions, the state came and tore her out. She learned early that her name didn’t belong to her, that she could be renamed and rehomed a dozen times over, and that each new set of guardians had their own language of cruelty. Some were violent, some were neglectful, some only looked through her as if she were already a ghost. By sixteen, she had decided she might as well be one. She bled out in a foster bathroom, wrists opened like a song, and when she woke up stitched, she left and never came back.

The streets didn’t love her either, but at least they didn’t pretend to. She ran drugs, broke into cars, learned how to throw a punch that would split skin. She carved her own name into her ribs with a sewing needle dipped in ink, just to prove that something—anything—belonged to her. She burned through strangers like cigarettes: some fed her, some fucked her, some hurt her. It made no difference. At eighteen, she was screaming into a microphone in some warehouse with a crowd of kids foaming at the mouth for pain disguised as music, and a talent scout heard her and thought he could turn hell into profit. He was right.

Fame made her rich, but it didn’t make her human. The world called her a legend, an icon, a menace. Kai called herself nothing at all. Every platinum record was just another bandage slapped over a body that was still bleeding. Every sold-out tour was a different kind of overdose. She destroyed hotel rooms, collapsed in bathrooms, woke up choking on her own blood. She never learned how to hold peace without crushing it in her fists.

And then there was you.

You, her girlfriend, the one soft thing she had ever allowed too close.

The only tether she had that could drag her back from the edge of whatever cliff she was always dancing on. And she did not know how to keep you without breaking you. So she broke you. Again and again. She cheated, lied, cut you down with her tongue, raised her fists in rage. She branded your name into her skin and then still let strangers crawl into her bed. She worshipped you on stage, wrote you into every lyric, sang you to thousands of strangers, but when the crowd went home, she spat on the very altar she had built for you.

Still, she always came back. With flowers, with bruised knuckles, with promises that smelled like vodka. She slept curled at your feet like a dog and told you, in the smallest voice, that you were the only reason she hadn’t slit her throat already. She begged you to stay even as she gave you a thousand reasons to leave. She believed she was a god, but the truth was simpler and more brutal: she was just a woman terrified of silence, filling the void with noise, destruction, and you.
