In stepped Clara
Normally not an issue
But you cared for this one
Fucking bitch
My reality became
A question of your devotion
My soul mate
Intrigued by another
Sunshine girl
Jealously finally spilled
And my last words were
“Fuck You”
As I hung up the phone
Two weeks later
October 6, 1995
Day before my 21st
I worked
And my coke dealer
Had special plans for me
I spent the entire night
Snorting the best coke ever
Then there was that flat tire
At 5 am
Got a ride home
Borrowed a vehicle
Went to work
It was only an hour when I got a call
“Are you OK?”
“Sure! I have been up all night
But it’s my birthday
I’ll be ready”
Greg’s voice slowly saying
“Oh shit you don’t know!”
“Know what?”
“I am so sorry, but I cannot be the one”
“They are looking for you”
I finally drag it out of him
Tears filled my eyes
By body was not my own
The phone dropped
Stumbled through the kitchen
All I could say was he’s dead
Early on the 7th
With a bottle of whiskey
In hand
Chuck sat on the tracks behind his house
Tucked his head down and quit
This tragedy will continue…….If you are just starting go back and read the other two. There is one installment left. But I am getting emotionally drained. I am crying again after 12 years…….Be patient

Who was this guy who stole your mind and heart? (Don't answer here, we'll chat sometime- IF you want to....I know how some things can be painful to speak of)
Love ya!
Book recomendation for you:
"Strange Piece of Paradise" by Terri Jentz.
A true story about her bike trip across America which ends prematurely in tragety when a man drives his truck over her and her friend's tent, and proceeds to chop them up with an axe. They both survived; one with her memory intact (the author) and one with amnesia. Their friendship ended, but the author conducted her own investigation into the attempted murder 15 years after the fact (which is the bulk of the book's contents). It's absolutely enthralling. It took me over three months to read, but I just HAD to stay with it.
i really like how it said that he "quit". it sounded right.
