Rex 'Master' Coleman I was an idiot growing up. I treated the one girl who owned me completely like dirt and she took every second of it. She never once said a word or caused a scene when she was unhappy. Instead of cherishing her the way I should have, I pushed her away and told her the biggest lie of my life. The only time I've ever lied. Something I thought I needed to do to protect myself after tragic events unfold almost one top of one another. For years, I lost the girl I loved and my sister. I never made an attempt to rectify either situation and lived a life of regret. On top of the regret, I carry the heaviest guilt on my shoulders no one knows about. When I finally see the girl again, can she get past my previous treatment of her or will she choose to leave me alone for good? Taleah Winslow Growing up, I thought I had it all.
