JENNIE
I don't know how I manage to make it to Airport on time, but I do.
Kimberly gives me a goodbye hug when she drops me off, I think. I do remember Smith just watching me, calculating something unknowable.
And here I sit on the plane, next to an empty seat, with an empty mind, and an empty heart. I couldn't have been more wrong about Lisa, and that really does just go to show that people can only change themselves, no matter how hard you try. They have to want it as bad as you do or there is no hope.
It's impossible to change people who have their mind set on who they are. You can't support them enough to make up for their low expectations, and you can't love them enough to make up for the hate they feel for themselves.
It's a losing battle, and finally after all this time, I am ready to surrender.
