Jack was sitting in his cell just like he has done for the past two and a half years since that day he was found guilty he was a model prisoner and he has become friends with some of the guards but he was still hunted by what he bone was reading a letter from Rose Anderson the woman that someone use him to rape they have been send letters to each other since he the day was send to prison he was happy to see that she has forgiven him for the role he played in her assault but sadden to hear the police was unable to find the person who was for the text cause him to hurt her to take what no person should ever take and never be able to return but he was happy to hear that she was doing good and that she was rebuilding her life and helping others survivors and started a support group to help them start over and move forward with their lives as he finishes the letter as he was going to sleep he remembers what she told him that he was a victim too and that he must live or whoever did this would rob the world of a good man so live and those words have been a source of strength so he tried to help people and went back to school and graduated and now a certified electrician and plumber and started going back to church and found god again as the next two years go by then he was standing in the warden offering him for early release for good behavior as he stand in front of the warden he was to say no that he doesn't deserve it like he always does but Rose was there this time and she talk to him and told him that he needs to stop punishing his self so he took the early release but he had to be on probation for a the last six months of his sentence he moved in small motel and he got a handyman job so he help building homes for people and fix them up for people who couldn't afford it he didn't get pay much for it but he didn't care he just want to help people to make up for his past but people still looked at him with hate in their eyes and it hurt him but he keeps moving forward because he promised her that he wouldn't take the easy way out and he been helping her fix up her old bunkhouse and rebuild her front porch he was their everyday for the past three months and they have become close friends and sometimes he wishes that they could be more but he know that ship has sailed most of the time her Danny one of her axes was over saying that he didn't trust me and how can she stand to around Jack after what he did or says that he am nothing but a rapes trying to start a fight with him but only when rose isn't around and all jack could do is clench his fist and walk away and one day jack was walking around looking for some nails to do some work on the front porch of the bunkhouse as he was walking around he overheard Danny tell rose that he still loves her and that if he was there that night that jack would have stop him before jack would never of made it pass the front door and then she told him that it was not Jack's fault that someone set her up to be rape and just use him to do it and he start yelling that is bullshit quit making excuses for him that he raped you rose she yelled back don't you think I know that I see his face every time I close my eyes every time I am alone in my own house since that night I can't sleep in my room anymore and the pain in her voice and it broke Jack heart and he started crying knowing that he cause that pain and no matter what he does she will feel that pain for the rest of her life as she turns to hide her tears she and Jack lock eyes and he ran off before she could see that he was crying too and he started working on the fence he grabbed Jack's shoulder and pulled him around why was you spying on us don't you think you've done enough to her why are you even here what do want to hurt her more or something as he pushes him down and jack looks up but couldn't say anything because he was right Jack did heart her as he balled up his fist to punch jack rose ran and stop him before he could swing STOP IT I invited Jack here like I told you it not his fault he is as much a victim as I am and if you can't understand that then don't come back Danny took a breath ok rose I am sorry and she look at him don't say it to me tell Jack that and he looked to him and back to her no and walked away as Jack stood up it ok rose and he went back to working on the fence walk back to his truck and went back to the to the motel and as he was laying in my bed replay the argument in his head "DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT I SEE HE'S FACE EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES EVERY TIME I AM ALONE IN MY OWN HOUSE I CAN'T SLEEP IN MY ROOM ANYMORE SINCE THAT THAT NIGHT" Jack roll over and stated thinking no matter what she says it is my fault as he finally falls asleep the next morning he had an appointment with his therapist as he walked she look up from her desk so Jack how have you been doing as he sat down he looked up well Miss Melinda not to good and she looked at him what's the matter Jack looks down well yesterday I over heard an argument between rose and Danny about me and he looked at her and she told him just how much what happened affected her and it still hurts knowing that I am the reason for her hurting and the..at there's nothing I can do to help her sometimes I wish that she haven't stopped me in the courthouse and he started crying the therapist looked at him remember she has forgiven you and you are a good person and don't make me 1013 your and I will if I have to. he looks back and laughed I would hate for you to do that and then she look at him remember that you have come a long way as she finished he look back at her I know and thanks as he walk to his phone rings and he see that it is rose and he takes a breath an answer it rose: hey are you ok
