So I've been writing something completely else all day, and then I saw the phenomenal season finale. The entire cast was brilliant and I cannot wait for next season. I really love all the characters on this show, and I couldn't believe Cyrus [spoiler alert] had Amanda killed. But I also don't think there's any character in that show that isn't willing to bend or break the law to do what they think is right. Sorry, ranting. Anyway, writing was a little therapeutic, since I'm already beginning the horrible effects of Scandal withdrawal. Also, I'm kind of scared about Olivia and Fitz's relationship, because I've literally become so obsessed and I kinda hope that they won't move on. I was hoping that they went with Mellie saying it was her on the tape though. That at least made me happy. Oh, and WHO IS QUINN? Ranting again. Just read. My rant is actually longer than my Cyrus short.
I can come up with one million excuses for why I did what I did. But I won't. I won't lie or try to sidestep my way out of what I have done. I did what I did because it was my job to do it. I did something horrible to protect the stability of this country and to protect the man who needs to be the president. When I said that some men aren't meant to be happy, I wasn't only talking about the president. I'm not meant to be happy either. I'm not even meant to be great. I am simply meant to serve my country and protect it at all costs, even if that cost is everything I hold dear. If this all comes down on me, I'll sacrifice James, Olivia, my family, my friends, and even my soul. Because I am a patriot and I do what's best for the United States of America. Some men, like Fitzgerald Thomas Grant III, are meant to be great. And some men, like me, are supposed to go down fighting for those great men.
