A/N: this is a response to a Taryn Wander'r challenge on slipstream to begin a fic with: You have every right-
"You have every right to hate me." Beka said quietly.
"I don't hate you." Dylan replied just as softly. "I know you only did what you thought was right but it still hurts. I thought we were friends Beka. I thought I could trust you and that you trusted me."
"We ARE friends Dylan and I do trust you. You can trust me too."
"How can I? You lied to me and left without saying a word. You had all of us so worried. We didn't know where you were or what had happened to you." Dylan said raising his voice as he began getting angry again at the events of the past two weeks.
"If I had told you what I had planned you would have tried to stop me." She said also getting angry.
"You're damn right I would have stopped you." He yelled. "That is what you do when you love someone Beka. You do whatever it takes to keep them from getting hurt."
"I know Dylan." She said with a sigh. "That is exactly why I had to keep you out of it. I am sorry." With those final words, she turned and left his office.
He stared after her for a moment as the meaning of her final words soaked into his weary mind. Then without any further hesitation, he ran after her, determined not to let her leave again.
