A/N: And that's it. Geeze, I spend weeks thinking and less than a day writing them up. Go figure.
Little Kenny and the Big Bad Wolf
Prompt 010: Lie by Omission
I've never told anyone all the details between what happened between me and Sam. Even if I wanted to, I can't because I don't remember it all. There are too many gaps in the memories of my childhood, too many shadows that obscure certain things my mind still does not wish to reveal to me. Sometimes, I wake up clinging to an old memory instead of a dream or the tendrils of sleep and I find it fitting like a jigsaw puzzle into an incomplete spread. But I've still got a lot of blank spaces left in my memories.
But even from what I do remember, I've never told anyone everything. I can't; it's not something I can just say aloud, in one seat. Not in several seats either; the topic comes up quite frequently with some people. Not my parents. They skive around the topic. Not my friends; it only came up once…or maybe twice. Actually, I'm surprised it hadn't come up more than then, considering they heard me blabbing on about it in the desert…but they never asked. They realised it was a sensitive topic.
I talked about it with Wormmon though. Of everyone, he knew the most. Of me and Sam. But even to Wormmon, I couldn't say everything. The conclusions to our conversations would be misleading; I don't know whether he thought, or still thinks, that I've said it all, or respects that I have secrets even from him and does not question.
I don't know. On some days, I feel like I want to tell him everything without omission, but at the same time I don't think I'm prepared for that just yet.
I think that's also why I can't remember things still. My mind knows I'm not ready.
