You had so much going for you.
You had everything right in your hand.
And you threw it away.
For what?
For one minute of pleasure?
For one night of fun?
Did you really think it would last?
Was it worth it?
You'd better hope so.
Because now you are stuck with this.
This mistake is going to last you forever.
There's no going back now.
You brought this reputation on yourself.
And nobody's going to give you a break.
You have to pay those fines.
You have to serve that time.
Remember those opportunities you had?
Well, now you can forget 'em.
Because nobody is looking for someone like that.
I don't even know what to say to you now.
I can't even look at you the same way.
Did you even think about the consequences?
Who you would hurt?
Let me answer for you.
No.
You thought you were invincible.
You thought you were stronger than that.
Well, let me ask you.
How strong are you now?
