SHE IS
And who's to say it's wrong and who's to say it's not right where we should be for now.
-------------------------------------- The Fray--- Hundred--- ----------------------------------
Dan Scott hated himself. That was the only way to describe how he felt. The sense of complete and utter self loathing was nothing new to Dan, he felt it most everyday. Yet, this time it was different. Maybe it was the pain of losing his son, maybe it was the upset of the divorce, maybe it was guilt over Keith, maybe it was all of these. For whatever cause, Dan wanted nothing more than to put a bullet in his brain.
Dan stepped into his house. The smell of fresh paint greeted his nose. Paint, that covered the word; MURDERER! Dan sat down and poured himself a drink. That was his problem. The guilt. He had killed his own brother and, for what? Revenge? Jealousy? A bizarre mixture of both? Was this why God had seen fit to take away his son? Was this now the reason why he was cursed with these feelings, these urges toward his daughter in law?
She is beautiful , sweet, caring, all the things that he is not. He is ruthless, vindictive, heartless. She is generous and kind, whilst he is interested only in himself and- for reasons unfathomable to him- her. Was this the balancing act, darkness and light, devil and Angel? Was this his penance, to want what he could never have?
Or was it something more? Would she be the one to make him change, the one who could reach in and salvage what was left of the man he used to be? Was she to be his deliverance or his downfall? Could they ever be anything more than friends?
