It's Too Late
AN: This Drabble is written from Marty's point of View and it's based on the following lyrics:
"I'm holdin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I'm hearin' what you say,
But I just can't make a sound.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down...
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn around...
And say...
[Chorus]
That it's too late to apologize.
It's too late...
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Yeah!" (Lyrics from OneRepublic's Apologize)
"I'm so sorry that I hurt you. Hurting you was the last thing that I wanted," Todd pleaded with me as we stood on the roof of the Palace Hotel.
I still loved him, but his apology had come too late. He did hurt me beyond repair and I was sickened that he had lied and manipulated me for months in an attempt to erase our past. "Would you have ever told me that you raped me if John hadn't found me?" I asked.
"I...I don't know. I wanted to tell you, but I was scared of losing you. Would you have been able to forgive me if I was the one who had told you the truth?"
"I don't know. We'll never know because you weren't the one who told me and now it's just too late. I can't forgive you for tricking me into falling in love with you. I didn't know who or what you were but you knew and you should have told me what you did to me before it was too late...before I fell in love with you."
"I'm sorry. I would take back that night if I could, but I can't."
"Sorry isn't enough...I don't want anything to do with you, stay away from me," I stated as I ran away from the rooftop.
The next morning I found out that Todd had killed himself. I snuck into the morgue so that I could see him one last time. "I forgive you," I whispered, but my forgiveness had come to late.
