Okay. All right. So I'm just going to preface that. All right. We've come a long way since then. I've grown a lot as a human being. I was still sleeping with Aaron. And so when she found out I was sleeping with Jess, she sat Jess down and said, hey, just so you're aware, I'm still sleeping with him too. And Jess acted like she didn't care. Yeah. But in reality, it ripped her guts out.

I went into a blackout drunk. I wanted to get out of that life very bad, and I knew if I kept going back to her dad's where I had a soft place to land, I was not going to. And so I decided to just go all out and either die or hit rock bottom. But it was going to happen that week, one or the other.

And that was on Hemlock Street, so two blocks over from Woodward. And that was the last thing I remember before waking up the 26th of May, 2019. And that empty lot just covered head to toe in blood.
