   Summary

   Bernie honestly couldn’t remember a time when this wasn’t happening; couldn’t remember a time when John and Elton hadn’t been fighting about one thing or another.

   Well… Maybe he could remember a time when things hadn’t been so bad for his friend. Maybe in the beginning before shit began hitting the fan; when John actually cared about him, when his life wasn’t completely consumed by alcohol or drugs or shoving his fingers down his throat after every meal.

   Back when it was just Elton and Bernie, taking on the world together.
