I admit it, It was a bluff

I thought maybe if I scared her she wouldn't hurt them. Wouldn't hurt him. I didn't wanna even think of mikey as hurt like that. He liked her so much, and I...

I guess I wanted to hurt her a little too. I felt satisfaction when she looked so scared for that moment. It was like...good great, cuz I've been feeling that scared cuz 'a you! So you get scared for your life a little and see how it feels. See whatcha doin' to us.

I should have known she would run. I mean, I saw what kind of fighter she was in her eyes. She was bigger than her own fear, and she never would've just lay around waiting for us to decide. I guess I was too angry to know.

But it felt good, you understand? It felt really really good to see her like that.

It felt rotten too. Like I was no better than she was. Or I was worse, cuz..I did believe her about her family. I said I didn't, but that was a bluff too.

It was all a god damned bluff.
