Wrong again." (Darren, Bedrooms and Hallways))*


 Sometimes I feel like I don't understand you at all.

 I really thought you were making progress. I thought, great, you've
finally decided to live your life. Wrong again. Was that me being selfish,
only seeing what I wanted to see, or are you really that good at deceiving
me?

 You seem to be so good at reading me, and I'd like to think it works both
ways. I know I'm competitive, but this isn't about one-upmanship - it's
about being a good partner. I'd like to say it's about being a good
friend, but we're not really friends right now, are we, Bodie? You haven't
forgiven me yet, that much is clear even to me.

 I wish you'd understand there was a reason I turned you down. A perfectly
valid, important reason. I realise now I should never have flirted with
you in the first place, never given you a reason to get your hopes up. If
I could go back in time, I'd do things differently, I swear. I never meant
to hurt you.

 At least you're still alive. Things will get better in time - not
tomorrow, I know, but maybe next week or next month. Or maybe you'll prove
me wrong again.

 -- THE END --
