I Know What I Said...
I know what I said...
I know what I said...
I told him that it was his fault. That the leak was his fault. That the foster care was his fault. I know what I said...
I told him that he was the reason. That his divorce was all on him. That that case was all his issue. That he was to blame. I know what I said...
Why did I say that? Why would I want to destroy him like that? Why would I want to say what I said?
Why did I do that? Why was it his fault? I don't know why I said what I said...
He's my best friend... despite popular belief. Before, before this all happened. Before we had to go to therapy just to get along. Before everything... I never would have said what I said.
I messed it up. I love him like a brother and I messed all of that up. He was right. I just sleep around. I don't really care who I leave in my wake. I just say what I say. Because I know what I said...
I can't help it. He's totally right. I'm OCD, and probably have PTSD from the divorce. Not to mention FML because I just destroyed the only stable-ish relationship I've ever had. All because of what I said.
And now what do I do? I go running to the next girl that I can sleep with before I think to much on what I said.. what he said... what we said...
And now where am I? I go straight to the Hotel bar and try to forget everything that was said. Especially the 'it's over' part. Because I remember when I said that.
If I could just forget...
If I could just forget... Forget what I said. But suddenly the doctor's here, and she makes me remember. Not what I said. No, she make me remember everything else. The reason that I became a detective. The reason that I got divorced. The reason that Travis and I use to work so well together. All of it... Then she says something. Something that helped. I know what I said, but now I have to make it right.
If I could just forget...
And then I'm running up to Travis' trailer, and I know that there's a girl in there, and I know he'll be mad, but I don't care. I can't care. Because I have something to say. I talk for just a moment about the case, and I plead to his inside detective. He tells me that we broke up. So I break down.
"I'm sorry. I was wrong. I know you didn't leak that information. I'm a jerk, and I'm sorry." I'm babbling something like that. I call his name, because I don't think he heard me. I screwed up. I know what I said-
"Are you really sorry?" I know what was said, but I've never outright heard him apologies before. It's different.
I tell him I'm sorry, and I mean it. And then after it all goes down, and the case is finished, and we are done with our second therapy session, and we are both still alive.
I know what I said... but...
I know what I said... but...
It doesn't really matter that much anymore.
And that was the my first ever Common Law story! Thank you so much for reading, please comment, and bye! :)
