-- C.J's Apartment --
It was nearly eleven o'clock at night. Once C.J got home she went
over some twenty briefing notes and memos, read both the Washington-Post
and the New York Times, and got ready for bed. She did everything she
could to take her mind off of the past, but it seemed impossible. She
had made herself some tea hoping it would calm her down, but no such
luck.
`I have to let the past be the past. It's over.' C.J thought as she
stood looking out her living room bay window. `I have let those memories
haunt me for to long.' C.J shook her head. " I need sleep that's all,
I'm just tired; over emotional." She said aloud as if to convince
herself that was all she needed. But deep down she new it wasn't.

= Have you ever felt a breeze hit your heart
Like the wind was blowing it apart
Had you spinning like a merry-go-round
Indications of a storm touching down
I wish that I could weather any storm
But I guess it was a heartbreak from the norm
It was a day I'll always remember
The saddest day in sweet November.=
~ It was late at night, and C.J had just come home from work. She drove
up the long drive of the large estate to the main house. She parked her
Mercedes near the steps, the chauffer could always put it in the garage.
She dug in her pockets for her keys, but once again she had forgotten
them. She knocked at the door, but there was no answer, so she rang the
bell. ~
=But guess it was a heartbreak from the norm
It was a day that I will always remember
The saddest day in sweet November. =
~ " Miss C.J" Simone, the maid, said shaking her head. "You forgot you
keys again?"
C.j sighed then nodded and asked "Is he asleep?"
"He was, but I don't know if he still is; the door bell could have woken
him up."
"I hope it didn't."
"So much for hoping." Came a voice from the top of the steps.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you up." C.J replied.
"Where the hell were you?" He asked coming down the steps.
"I...I had to work late." She stammered
"I bet." C.J could smell the alcohol on his breath.
"It's the truth."
"Don't lie to me C.J."
"I'm not lying Andrew"
"C.J I don't want to do this, you're making me do this C.J."
"Andrew, please don't, please don't." C.J sobbed.
He took hold of her wrists.
"Please no, please, please no." C.J cried
He slapped her across the face, then took hold of her shoulders. He
pushed her to the floor and kicked her in the side.
"Don't ever come home late like that again, do you understand me?"
Andrew said.
Laying sprawled out on the floor C.J nodded. Andrew turned and walked
out of the room. ~
= I'm on my knees praying God help me please
It was a day I will always remember
The saddest day in sweet November. =
C.J woke up covered in a cold sweat. She was shaking, and then she
began to sob. She remembered that night like it was yesterday. But in
reality it took place on November 17, 1988, nearly twelve years ago. It
had been so long since she had those dreams, that always seemed so real.
And were really memories that flooded her mind as she slept. They were
absolutely awful. C.J continued to cry and cry.
