His Past

The woman was taken aback but was interested to hear an explanation. She waited for John to continue.

"You sure you want to hear this?” John raised his eyes to meet here. “It’s not a fun story.”

"I want to hear."

I’ll have to change the names of everything while telling her the story though. Siders have written about their lives before reincarnating, so if she’s read some of them she could connect the dots and figure out I’m a Sider.

"Okay.” John took a deep breath. “Well, where do I start? I suppose I should start by saying it outright. The last girl who loved me died because of me."

John used to live in London with his parents in a small apartment. His dad was a truck driver, and his mom was a cleaner at a school. It was a hard life with the gangs, drugs, and violence of the city centre, but John did his best to stay away from them.

When John was eight years old, his parents died in a car accident. He had no family other than them, so he was put in an orphanage home. The first night inside the home, most of the boys roughed him up. Even against impossible odds, young John still fought back, but it was one on fifteen…

However, from that night onwards, no one there messed with him again.

A few years later, he left school and tried working inside a steel factory, hauling steel car bumpers to get welded by machines. After that day though, he decided he didn't want to labour that hard. He asked around and got a "job" as an enforcer for a loan shark. His job was to make sure the customers paid on time, and he was good at it.

His boss stayed clear of the gangs and drugs, so John followed suit. However, some of his friends from the orphanage home joined a few different organisations, which meant he had connections there. His friends came to his boss for a quick loan from time to time too.

When John turned twenty-two, his boss was arrested and charged with many crimes. They couldn't pin anything on John though since he made sure he left no clues while working. Seizing the opportunity, John took over his boss' role as he had his notebook too. It had all his boss’ contacts and debts recorded in there, so John smoothly transitioned into the role.

It wasn't long after becoming the new boss that he met Lisa. She was 5 foot 7 inches, had long brown hair down to her hips, thin eyebrows, and brown eyes with small glasses. It was love at first sight.

John went up and talked to her. He said he was a banker, and they hit it off from there. They dated, and as they both worked during daytime, they fell into a routine of work during the day and spending time together at night. This went on for a few months.

When Lisa found out the truth about his occupation, she was angry.
