I know it feels that way. Did you hurt him on purpose?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

Everything I fucking do is on purpose, doc. C'mon.

Re: video

[abrightboy]

Okay, but did you take responsibility for that and apologize?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

Believe it or not, I fucking did.

Re: video

[abrightboy]

I do believe it. I can tell this is important to you, because you don't want to talk about it. Did he accept your apology?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

He said he did but that he's still upset. Which, yeah, I know, he's fucking allowed to be and all that bullshit. Just feels like shit, you know?

Re: video

[abrightboy]

It absolutely does; you're right. Do you know what he's still upset about? Is there anything you can do about it? Or is it just lingering hurt?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

[He groans.]

I can't do shit about it. Just make him happy and show him that I actually mean it.

Re: video

[abrightboy]

He suspects you don't?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

Don't know. But I'm not going to give him a chance to think that.

Re: video

[abrightboy]

How are you going to prove yourself?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

Just...make sure he's happy.

Re: video

[abrightboy]

By doing what?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

I'm real good at that, doc. Been doing it all my life.

Re: video

[abrightboy]

So... by conning him?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

Guess so. It works, don't it?

Re: video

[abrightboy]

Not really. Being real works.

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

...nah, doc. Don't try and lecture me on that shit now.

Re: video

[abrightboy]

When is a better time than when you have to make that choice?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

I ain't hurting him.

Re: video

[abrightboy]

No, but you’re not helping yourself, either. How long do you keep living a charade once you start?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

...forever? What the fuck kind of question is that?

Re: video

[abrightboy]

Wouldn’t it be better to cultivate your friendship in a way that lets you be who you really are? Wouldn’t you rather have a connection on that level?

Re: video

[creeksidealtarboy]

Nah man. Not if it means he's just going to be pissed at me.

Re: video

[abrightboy]

Are you sure those are the only two options?
