Macy 83: Good Part?

Good part? What part of any of that night was good? Then Macy remembered before Shane did that. She remembered lying in his arms and being content. But those nightmare-like images overpowered the good ones.

Macy remembered her horrible and random flashbacks, like the day in the hall with Shane. She remembered those moments when she thought she wouldn’t be able to live another day. She remembered those late night hours where she cried and cried until there was nothing left inside of her but a deep, deep sadness. And she remembered who caused all that sadness. Yet, she still wished it was someone else. But it wasn’t.

Now as Macy looked up at Macon, an accomplice to her pain, and everything that had been bottled up appeared to be ready to pour out. She thought that everything was out once she explained the past to Derrick, but it wasn’t. It was only disappearing when she announced to the wrongdoers how much pain they had caused her. And that moment was now.
