What do you want me to say? That I grew up poor, was bullied, that my mom killed herself? 'Cause all that's true, but I've gotten through my whole life knowing it, and it's never caused me to lose sleep. You know what has, though? Law school.
Do you trust me?
Yeah.
Then believe me when I say I will tell you when it's time to freak out. We're not there yet.
You know, we could stop. Let it all burn. We'll all go to jail. But is this really better than that?
I never wanted children. Never even crossed my mind till I turned your age, and everyone asking, "When? Why not? You'll feel different when the baby's in your hands. It's the greatest experience of your life." Now I have five of them, and I know... it's the worst experience of my life.

Everything's fine. The police have moved on. Nothing bad's happened all summer-
Like that means anything.
It means we're safe. And you want to know why? We're good people now. Say it to yourself until you believe it.
I told myself to stay away. What was broken in me was broken. No one could fix it. And I did the opposite.
My house burned down, and as I result, I lost everything that I owned. None of it matters, though, because a life was lost too. My student, Wes Gibbins, took his life at my home. And I wake up every day knowing that a young man with so much potential, who needed me the most, died because I decided to take a drink.
I'm having the baby, so... I thought about it, and... I want to have it. I'm due in 5 months, which is soon. That's crazy soon, but yeah, that's my news.
We're in a relationship, all of us, whether you like it or not, so you don't get to unilaterally decide when it's over.
