Breathe (Tom Hanson 21 Jump Street)

to the beginning.

in the end, it all comes down to where you began. It doesn't matter how far you push your thoughts or your memories back, sooner or later it all comes back to you stronger than before. I didn't think I would ever be back to where I started at 657 Kenwood trail at the abandoned Oppell house. But here I am stuck terrified about how all of this is connected. I knew that whatever lay beyond the broken door had to be confronted and soon.

I shut all the voices down as I walk to the now swinging door. There was the bloody mess of the wive that was tortured and killed. I could feel myself start to panic overwhelmed by guilt. Suddenly there was a creak I turn quickly and see Carly come from a back room. "Oh my God Carly!" I exclaim and run over to her hugging her tightly. She squeezes me tightly. "I knew you would find me." She says with a flat tone becoming stiff holding me tighter. I try to pull back but she holds me tight against her. "Carly are you alright?" I ask she then suddenly lets me go. She begins to walk around the remnants of a little girl's room. "It's funny isn't it?" She starts and I look at her confused. "How Karma comes back around?" She says and I start to feel a twinge in my stomach. She turns quickly looking at me. "Do you remember yet?" She asks and I am more confused than before. "Hmm. Why would you? You were just doing your job right?" She asks then I feel the memory slowly come, her face comes clear to me now. "You're Carly Oppell..." I start but she stops me. She pulls out a knife waving it for me to be quiet. She begins to circle me playing with the knife. 

"You know that day you walked through Perch high school, I couldn't believe it! The woman who killed my father and took everything from me is coming to my high school?" She asks stopping in front of me and pointing the knife at me. "I have dreamed about the day where I could kill Quinn Kinsley." She says and my heart sinks. "Carly I made a mistake," I say she laughs. "Did you even know the whole story? About how my mother was abusing my sister and me. How she killed my sister that morning and was holding us hostage until my father fought her off in a bloody mess. Then as he leaves you to pull the trigger killing him." She begins to cry. "Carly we couldn't find you, or ask you what happened you just disappeared." I say and she wipes her tears quickly. "How could I trust the cops when they took everything from me? So I ran to the only person I knew could get me my revenge. Jax Valley." She says taking a step closer. "So now I am going to take everything from you." She comes straight up to me poking me in the stomach. I suck in as the blade grazes my skin. "Say goodbye to Judy Hoffs, Tom Hanson, and everyone in that damn chapel." I start to panic as I know I have made another big mistake. "Carly this is about you and me you don't have to hurt others. Just take me." I plead and she gives a sick smile. "It's too late it's already done." She says shoving the knife in my stomach. The piercing pain was something I have never experienced before in my life. I grab the knife because if she pulls it out I am good as gone. She tries to pull the knife out and I hold it. She pulls back hard taking the knife she then stabs me again. "Carly...." I begin as I feel weak. I go to catch my fall but I fall to the ground. "That's how it feels...to lose everything." She says smiling and walking out the door. I knew I needed to focus I only had 30 minutes before I was a goner. I begin to search through my clothes for my phone but it was across the house. I begin to crawl dragging dirt and blood on the floor. It was inches from me but I couldn't go anymore. My eyes start to flash as I slowly melt into nothingness.
