Mac

1993
And suddenly, its hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed
"Sarah!"
"John! I didn't know you were going to be here!"
"To see you graduate? I wouldn't miss it. A lawyer?" She blushed.
"Hey, Mac? They want grads now," her friend Ammie called waving her towards the front row of seats.
"My uncle Matt's here… I don't know if you'd want to sit…"
"I'm sure I could handle that, if it's okay with your uncle." Her face lit up.
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today
"Ladies and gentlemen! I'd like to present Duke Law School's class of '93!" Mac grinned as the flashes went off and threw up her hat with the rest of them. She was proud of what she'd accomplished in the last eight years. First a bachelor degree in Political Science and then law school. She caught Uncle Matt's eye from the crowd and grinned wider. He had been very instrumental in her path to get to this day. She would forever thank him.
She made her way down the stairs with Ammie and her other friend Alanna to where Uncle Matt was standing, beaming as if he was her father. He was just as proud of her accomplishments as she was, if not more so. He'd seen a broken girl grow to be a beautiful woman.
To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is
They served champagne at the reception and she politely declined. She'd been sober for eight years, what would make her stop now? Especially when she was surrounded by friends and family she knew loved her. The table of eight, Ammie, Alanna, John, Uncle Matt, Alanna's mother Jennifer that had hosted many a late night of studying, Ammie's parents that had hosted her for Thanksgiving almost every year, Nick and Diana and herself. People who she knew loved her for who she was, not who she had been.
You are beautiful, no matter what they say
Words won't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words won't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today
There would always be that shadow of her past over her heart, always that reminder of her past in every glass of alcohol that passed her by, but time and time again she'd push it back like she'd been doing for years and years. It was a part of her past that she wouldn't try to purposefully dig up and would be careful with when it was forced to the surface. She'd moved on.
Uncle Matt smiled as they danced together and she returned the grin. He leaned in towards her ear.
"I'm proud of you, Sarah. Damn proud."
"I couldn't have done it without you, Uncle Matt… not without you."
No matter what we do
(No matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(No matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
The clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(Everywhere we go)
The son won't always shine
(Sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
Her life had turned into a whirlwind after she'd gotten back from Red Rock and enrolled in the Marines. Training had come first along with Bosnia before she'd accepted the recommendation to attend law school. She'd done so much in the last eight years that tended, in her mind, to overlook everything before that. She'd moved on, she'd grown up, she was her own person, and she was in control.
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today
"Major Sarah Mackenzie, Lieutenant Commander Harmon Rabb."
Don't you bring me down today
