Title: Love Will Try To Get By
Summary: Love will try to get by. Did anyone try too hard? Well, I guess I did. I guess I did. And she'll break my heart. She'll break my heart.
Notes: Yeah, now I'm stumbling back onto the plot. Finally.
Love Will Try To Get By
Three: I Guess I Did
I find it completely ironic. Completely. I am still sitting in the concert hall of the theater of the Underworld. In the back. Silent. A couple of dark curls fall into my face and I blow them back quietly. Stay silent.
I have nothing to say, anyway.
Before me the scene unfolds. There are orchids in her hair. She's wearing white.
A fucking wedding.
To think that they'd invite me? Never. And all I can do is watch as they are bound by the gods. The fucking gods.
Even in the Underworld I get screwed over.
Agamemnon was invited. Hell, Menelaus was invited. Priam is here. He's in the second row.
And here I am at the back, watching the greatest of the Greeks being bound to the woman who was promised to me, and I can't fucking say anything.
She sends him this look...this look I once believed was only reserved for me. How foolish I was. How ignorant.
And now, the kiss.
I scowl. I'm sure they don't know I'm here.
She is so involved with herself she does not even notice I'm sitting here at her wedding, cursing her with all the wounds running deep in my broken heart.
I once thought you were someone special. Someone worth fighting for. Someone worth dying for.
And I did. I died for you. Now look at us. I'm sitting in the back of your wedding and you're marrying a fucking Greek who brought Troy's downfall. I'd call your betrayal, but you'd twist my words. I know you would. You're that manipulative.
I guess I tried too hard for you. I gave up everything.
And even in the fucking Underworld, I get screwed over.
