In the cage, I never have to worry about anyone but myself. Yet, when she began standing outside of the cage, everything changed. I was no longer fighting for the money or the glory – I was fighting for her.

Oblivion is a sweet, sweet place.No pain. No disturbing thoughts of the past. No guilt from my recent actions.Deep down, there is still a part of me that knows how screwed up I am.

As little as I had to offer Tria before, I have nothing to give her now. The only way out is to come clean and tell Tria the truth about my past, but the idea of reliving the memories is so painful, I can't think about it long enough to figure out a solution.I've hit rock bottom, and I don't even know which way is up any more.
