The Past We Can’t Go Back To Ch 13

13 

I took Thomas back home

My hometown had changed a lot. I didn’t 

recognize some parts

My parents were so happy to see us. They 

hugged Thomas, forgetting to make dinner

Thomas was cute and polite, just like me

He’s a handsome kid. He’s going to do great 

things,my dad said

Of course. Tom’s done so well, his son will 

be even better,my mom said proudly

Thomas ate quietly, looking at his 

grandparents

My mom mentioned the neighbors

They’ve been having a hard time. Amy’s been 

a messMy mom sighed

I chuckled. What did Amy do this time?” 

She was driving a motorcycle without a license and crashed into an old man. She paid him thirty thousand dollars so she wouldn’t go to jail. It broke her family,my dad explained

I heard the motorcycle belonged to some lowlife, that boyfriend of hers. I hate him!” 

They’re still together. At first, they didn’t 

want to break up. Now, they’re just stuck with 

each other,my mom said

I raised an eyebrow. Amy was still with Jake

She really loved bad boys

What are they doing now?I asked

What can they do? Amy’s getting older and 

finally got her act together. She’s selling stuff at the flea market to make money

That boyfriend of hers is always drinking and gambling. She’s the only one working. We 

don’t know much about it, and we don’t care.” 

My parents didn’t want to talk about it

I didn’t either

The next day, some local politicians came to 

see me

I knew why

As a taxpayer, my information was with the 

IRS

The local politicians knew I was rich

I made millions, had money in the bank, and was a local success story

I was a good investment

They wanted me to invest back home, and 

offered me great loans and land

I wanted to do that, so we made a deal for 

thirty million dollars

That was my yearly income

Claire supported me and had my Maybach 

shipped over from Boston

If you’re going to invest back home, you 

can’t walk everywhere. Get a driver, it’ll look good.” 

So, I had my Maybach again

The driver was local

One day, I wanted to go to the old street, so

had the driver take me

It was packed

This area has become a big tourist spot

There are shops and food stalls everywhere

The traffic’s always terrible,the driver said

I didn’t mind the traffic. I wanted to get some 

fresh air

I opened the window and started taking 

pictures. It was a hobby

I wanted to send some pictures to Claire

I took two pictures, and a woman with messy 

hair and a grey shirt came up to the car. Sir

want to buy some flowers? For your wife?” 

Her voice was rough and raspy

I paused, frowning

She pushed the roses into the car. Sir, these 

are great for your wife!” 

The driver stopped the car and yelled, Get 

lost! No one wants your flowers!” 

The woman smiled. Buy one. They’re great.” 

I kept staring at her. Her face was pale, she 

had bruises around her eyes, and there were 

marks on her neck

Amy had changed
