I can’t escape that claustrophobic pity filled room fast enough. The last thing I want is to lose it right in front of Leah. It’s bad enough she saw the tears pooling in my eyes; her sympathy for me clear as day. Her warmth felt so damn good, I could have allowed her to comfort me all day. But, I’m here to support her, not the other way around. Pushing the double doors open, relief hits me when I suck in the fresh air, allowing it to open my constricted lungs. Slipping down into a crouching position, I take a few more deep breaths, willing the torn feelings to decide between wanting to beat the shit of someone and curling up in the fetal position to cry like a toddler who just lost his favorite toy. I take a few moments to wallow in my despair before standing up to take a walk around the grounds

Following the path that goes through the woods, I glance back to the doors of hell and decide I’m through. A million thoughts stream through my mind. The desire to kill Jimmy, but at the same time thank him for giving Dani back to Shane battle each other for dominance. I want to beat the shit out of Shane, but thank him for taking care of Dani. I want to burn down that drug house and hunt that bastard down that Cassi cheated on Shane with because he probably left her there to die alone. None of it matters, though. Jesus, why did Cassi always have to be so fucking stubborn? She did this to herself. She was a drug addict way before Shane came into her life, and I have to remember that. But hearing the story of her death brings all the guilt back. Every time she came to me, I should have tried harder to get through to her. I shouldn’t have given her money. The blame could just as easily be pointed to me, as well. I enabled her life style each time I placed the currency in her hands.

I sit down on a bench surrounded by trees, remembering the first time Cassi did drugs. I should have stopped her, what the hell was I thinking to let her try it? You were thinking she would smoke some pot and that would be that, not that she would end her life overdosing on heroine six years later. Stop rationalizing, Adam, you gave her the first taste!
