Still here [ChanSaw/Slowburn]

The before - Memories

September 1st, 1999.

Ten years. Today marked ten years since the beggining of senior year, and ten years after Veronica's life started to go downhill.

Nonetheless, it was a normal day for her.

Her daughter was at school, and her husband at work. Veronica had just finished her duties as a housewife, and was now waiting for them, waiting for their noise.

Her gaze was fixated on the clock that pointed 2:46 p.m. but her mind was somewhere else. It had always been like this, ever since her psycho boyfriend almost blew up the school. She would think about him, and how head over heals she was for him, and feel disgusted with herself after finding a smile on her face reviving those memories. Veronica was a mess, and more today, when not even the fondest of memories could keep her mind off of the three deaths she caused.

The grasp on her hair kept getting stronger, almost to the point of ripping it off, until a soft knock on the door shot her back to reality.

But even so, nothing could ease her mind at night. Not when the darkness of the room and the snoring of her husband reminded her of the first night she shared with J.D.
