glued to the conversation. "And you? No violence problems?" she asked. I felt even more awkward at that question. "Wrong. I do. But with Andy, his is explosive, extremely volatile. Whilst mine is cold and calculating, and to be honest done with careful execution. Please don't think less of me for this. But I am quite capable of killing someone. The big difference is that I don't hurt or kill for myself. I do it to protect the ones I love and care for. My friends and my brother. I hate violence towards women and have knocked out a couple of guys for it." She was a bit shocked at that, but stayed none the less. Her curiosity kept her there. "He's done it to all of his ex's? But never any hint of violence to you?" "Oh he has." I replied. "And?" Her face frowned in anticipation for my answer. I couldn't help but let out a small laugh, showing how awkward I felt. "Sorry," she said. "I've asked too much." She got up and started to walk out clearly feeling embarrassed. I got up and put my hand on her arm. She turned to me and looked into my eyes. She could tell that I forgave her without me saying so. But for the first time I felt a connection with her I never felt. "That's okay, Sarah. I've come this far telling you. May as well finish what we started." She put her hand on my cheek and gently rubbed it with her thumb. " I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I'm sorry. But if you want to tell me then I'll listen. But I shouldn't have asked you in the first place." I looked back at ... her with a tear in my eye, realizing that I have gone back to all the dark places I once walked into. If only to explain to her what my brother and myself had become. "It's fine. To be honest, it's good to have someone to talk to about it." She sat back down and I continued. " I kicked his arse pretty badly. Broke two of his ribs and put him in the hospital. Kind of forgot my own strength. Andy just throws punches and gets them in before anyone knows what's hit them." She leaned forward waiting for me to finish. "I'm a black belt in kung fu and have never lost a fight - well, not yet anyway. It gave me something to focus on, channel my energy towards. So now, I can take all that I have been through and make something positive out of it. I just wish Andy had done the same. And now, well, he might very well end up in prison for it. Hey, I've just thought of something." "Oh, what's that?" she asked with a smile in her voice. "If he does go to prison. It might help him kick the heroin. How's that for positive thinking?" "Heroin?" "You mean you didn't know?" I looked at her and the shock in her face was plain to see. "He told me he kicked the habit, been to rehab and everything." She was close to tears again and visibly shaking in anger. Whilst I stood there knowing that once again the proverbial foot in the mouth had struck. "No. He still shoots up. But I never told you." She looked at me again and nodded. "You've been completely truthful with me today, and I thank you for that. I ...
