I never expected going to court to finally put away the man I've been working to put behind bars since the day I learned about Gretchen Lutterman was going to be so nerve-racking. Geese, I should be pumped and excited to get rid of this guy but I'm so nervous and sweating through my suit! I know I'm doing the right thing by testifying for Gretchen and all, but all my mom can say is I shouldn't have gotten mixed up in it. What if I hadn't met her. I'd have Lola, I'd still be in school, I wouldn't be working in construction to support my mom and sister, and I wouldn't have been running around trying to avoid a man that's trying to kill me. My life would've been a lot better without Gretchen, but where does that leave her? I know I did the right thing even if I threw my life away to save Gretchen's. I might be the only one who thinks I did the right thing, but that's enough for me. I don't need all those things I lost by helping Gretchen, I'm enjoying helping the runner and his wife, working construction, and I really don't care about not graduating high school. I love my life, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world right now... okay, maybe for the streetcars to come back.
