Spoilers: Late Season Two

Disclaimer: Characters and past storylines are property of their original owners and creators. I own nothing, except in the case of the odd original character or two.

Author's Note: This is my first Nip/Tuck piece, set some time before the big secret, (cough cough), came out. (Think, thirteen or fourteen year old Adrian). It was something that I wrote in class, today, upon being asked to respond to the prompt "Sin, forgiveness, and me...". This was the result. Enjoy!

Summary: He knew it was wrong. Not to mention, he was pretty sure that it was illegal as Hell.


Adrian knew what had happened, and he knew that it was wrong. Not to mention, he was pretty sure it was illegal as hell.

In some ways, Adrian felt like it was his fault. In some ways, it was as if Adrian was the one doing wrong. Maybe, the unforgivable action was his own sin.

There it was. Sin. What had happened was his own offense. He had done the action, had perpetrated the crime. Adrian was guilty. He could never be forgiven. He was guilty.

Or, was he? Others in his situation had all been told that it wasn't their fault. They were all told that there was nothing to feel guilty about. Everyone else was told that they had been used...

He had accepted, though. Well, he had thought that he had. Did it matter? Would it matter in the future? Would it have mattered then? Would she still have done it if he had said "no"?

It didn't matter. It never had mattered, it never would matter, and it couldn't have made a difference. No, he couldn't just leave it at that. Maybe, he was innocent. Maybe, he had been used. Maybe, he had said "no"...

He had said "no".

Why didn't she stop?


Author's Note: Alright, well, while I know that you might think that the ending was rushed, I think that it is important that you know that this is more of an introduction chapter, rather than a stright forward chapter. More will be along, shortly! I promise, the next chapter will be much, much longer! Thanks for reading! I look forward to your kind words! Until the next chapter...
