Spoilers: The Honeymoon's Over.
I wasn't planning on following up on Happy Ending but today this came into my mind and I had to write it down. Hopefully you'll like it! The song I used this time is All Good Things Come To An End by Nelly Furtado.
All Good Things Come To An End
Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
its way too clear to me
Neela continued to blankly stare out the taxi window. 'You did this you selfish bitch, nobody else, so you live with that.' Katey's cold, departing words continued to repeat through her head, as much as she hated to admit it, it was true. This was all her fault. Ray would never have lost his legs if he hadn't have had the fight with Tony and Tony would never stirred Ray up if she'd just given both of them a straight out answer about where they stood with her. It all could have been so easy if she had done it that way, if she hadn't have kept giving them both hope and keeping them guessing she and Ray might have been together now.
But it wasn't like that. It was never going to be like that. No. And it was all her fault.
How had she managed to screw things up so much?
She almost had to bite her tongue from laughing out bitterly. She knew why'd she'd screwed everything up and right now her answer sounded like a lame excuse. Guilt. Guilt over Michael, guilt over having feelings for Ray while being married, guilt for her roommate knowing more about her than her own husband! Back when she'd left those had all sounded like perfect excuses but now as she went over them only one word seemed to describe them up. Pathetic. Why? Because she'd made herself believe that what she and Michael had, had been a real marriage. A marriage of love and commitment. Yeah, sure. There had been no love on Michael's side, there had only been commitment and it wasn't between the two of them, it had been for his job. He had been brought up with it and he had died with it. Yet she wasn't faultless. She should have never accepted his proposal so soon. Apart from a couple of dates and one night together they both had hardly know each other. It would have been easier for her to marry a complete stranger. Still when he had died she had felt an immense amount of guilt. Why? To this day she still didn't know. Apart from a few letters and calls they had been distant since he had gone back to Iraq. It was like as soon as he'd left to go back to Iraq he'd been dead to her but she'd still felt an enormous sense of bereavement when it had actually been confirmed. Maybe it had been because he was gone and now she really had to face everything she'd been hiding. Maybe it was again, because of guilt. She didn't know. But she did know that she should have never pushed Ray away when he tried to comfort her and she sure as hell should have never ever gotten involved with Tony Gates. If she could go back and do it all again she would, but she couldn't because this was reality and in reality no one got second chances.
No one.
