That evening, Alan rushed back home from his business trip and decided to spend the night at our place. Calls were coming in from Rey, from Duke's parents, from everyone. Mary didn't leave until past eight because she was just so sorry and did not really know how to make up for it.
It's been a heck of a day.
A day I don't want to go through again. I don't ever want to feel the way I felt when I received Duke's call this afternoon. I don't ever want to be forced to go to the extreme like I did today.
I don't like what I did to Alicia, using her to get to her mother but at that moment all I could think of was getting Shelly back.
The shots to her legs were real, but they weren't fatal. Just a minor graze of her flesh. She's been treated in a private hospital after which she'd be transferred to jail.
I don't want to relive today ever again.
