Prologue
I was wrong. I was so very, VERY wrong. I should have predicted this might happen...
but I didn't.
And now what? How can I possibly make up for such an unforgivable, irresponsible, undeniable, reckless, avoidable mistake? Certainly not what almost happened. It should never have escalated that much, that quickly. I should have known; I could have known if I had just...
If I had just paid attention to them more...
If I had hidden it better...
If I had dismantled it when I had the chance...would it have still happened?
How foolish of me, of course it would. No matter how you make a situation play out, you can't change what has already occurred in a timeline. It's a part of history now, and forever. You can't rewrite history like that. Of course, there are other ways of doing so. Ways that can be performed without the use of a time machine. I just wish this had all gone much smoother. Then maybe she wouldn't have gotten involved.
That's the way time flows, I suppose. Flowing in calculated yet unpredictable ways. Let's just hope history doesn't repeat itself.
A/N: This is a request I am filling for Retro Mania. I don't know how often I will update this because I am still unsure of how the whole story should go. Tell me what you think so far and have a lovely day!
