You Belong To Me

Instead of facing the consequences of my decisions and the guilt that I was carrying, just like the coward that I was, I found it much easier to start the conversation by blaming him for the only fault that I could think of at that time.

"You should have told me the truth," I said, as my voice started to crack. "All those times that I asked you about Anthony, you just stood there and said nothing and pretended that you didn't know, when in fact you knew everything. You should have told me," I blamed him endlessly.

"I didn't want to lie to you," Bradon replied flatly after a moment of heavy silence between us.

"But isn't keeping silent almost the exact same thing? You should have told me the truth," I retorted.

"You wanted the truth so badly, as if you couldn't bear to move on with your life without it. But what would you have done if I told you the truth? Would you have gone running straight to him?" Bradon asked accusingly.
