Ella

I'm back. Little did I know he's back too. Apparently, I'm the only one who didn't know.

Not only is he back in town, but he's working my sister's case. Declaring he'll do anything to solve it. So why did he try to stop me all those years ago?

What the hell happened to him? I'll tell you what happened. He ruined my life. He walked away and wrecked me. Made me turn into someone I hated. Made me turn to someone I hated. And while I was dragging myself through agony, he apparently was screwing half the women in Alabama.

I'll never forgive him. And if he thinks he's going to solve my sister's case all by himself, he's got another thing coming.

Because I'm the best there is.

Crutch

She's back. And it's pretty clear to see that everyone kept my secrets. They didn't tell her about me.

Leaving her was the hardest thing I've ever done. But she deserved more. I was nothing. A homeless, wayward mess of a guy. She wanted to save me, but I couldn't let her derail her future. Not for me... because I was a nobody.

And I guess I made the right decision-because it sure didn't take her long to turn to another. To turn back to the kind of life she claimed to despise.

And now, she wants to be a part of this investigation. Like I don't know what the hell I'm doing. If she thinks she's going to solve her sister's case all by herself, she's got another thing coming.

Because I'm the best there is.
