The Past life

6 hours later, we have closed. I always look back on the past, to see how I got here. Why I got here.

"Connie, never give up. Especially when someone puts you down."

"CONNIE!!! I HATE YOU, I WISH I NEVER TOOK YOU UNDER MY WING! I-I WISH YOU DIED IN THAT CAR ACCIDENT!!!"

The words me, Elizabeth and Michael always heard. At least when he was drinking. Which happened way more often than you think.
