This is about Sterling having to deal with that she shot her own father.
Sometimes my heart beating stops.
At least it feels like it does.
Breathing is hard in a suit but getting respect in normal clothing is even harder.
„What happened to your Father?"
Flashlight.
That is everything I can see.
I try to not lose my focus.
My gaze is straight.
I can feel his Fingers on my back.
His Hand is warm.
„Is it true that you killed your father?"
I stopped.
„Put the knife down"
My breathing went faster.
There was sweat on my fingers.
My gun was heavier than normal.
The little girl in his arm was crying.
This little girl was ones me.
I cried a lot because of him.
I wanted him to love me.
Adore me.
Being proud of me.
He hit me.
Destroyed my life.
Destroyed my love.
Killed my best friend.
„I've always believed in rules are what we make of them. Isn't that right, Veronica?"
I pulled the trigger.
„Why have you killed your own father?"
In this Moment I crossed the line I always wanted to cross since I was a teenager.
„Don't listen to them"
Tanners words come with heat.
The only heat that safes me in the moment.
People are starring at me.
Camera flashes are more worse than in a thunderstorm and then I see the bathroom sign.
I grab Tanners Hand and pull him in the ladies room.
Breath.
Don't look in the mirror.
„I can't to this"
I confess and let my whole weight sink on the edges of the sink.
„Why ?"
It is the first time that the voice of my husband is not soft.
„This man abused you. This man did everything so that we get divorced. This man" he makes a pause and puts his hands on my cheek and even though that I know what he will say next, It already scares me and hurts me the most.
„Your Father killed your best friend. He killed Scarlett Hawkins in the age of 24 just because she knew to much and he did not care that she was your closest friend since kindergarten"
I swallow.
Swallow my tears away.
That was 8 years ago.
„Everyone hates me"
I don't know why I'm saying this.
„Because they don't know what kind of a monster the former FBI Boss was"
Tanner turns away from me.
„Your right"
My reputation is not everything.
But justice is.
Without any other words I leave the bathroom.
It is time to open people eyes.
And in the end when nobody believes me, I still have Tanner back.
The only man I every loved.
