[Warrior Creek 04] • The Final Beat

The final beat doesn’t mean the end of your story.* not having control of your desire for something.* Some people say that addiction is a disease that leads to a compulsion to seek out drink and

drugs. Well, it’s not just substances that I’m addicted to but the one woman I shouldn’t want.

The one woman who makes it clear that the only thing we’ll ever share is the occasional night

together. Yet, the more she pushes me away the more I want her.

I’m Joey Farrow, drummer for Warrior Creek, and even though I’m clean and sober, I’m still

addicted to her. The refusal of something desired. I’m an expert at denial because keeping my heart intact is important to me. There is one man

I want but I refuse to let my guard down. He could give me what I need, but he could also

break me, and I can’t risk that…not again. Yet, the more I push him away the more I question

my decision.

I’m his Daisy, and I’m in denial about my reality.

Can two people finally admit what they want or will the final beat signal the end of their

love story.
