I listen carefully then, as Edward tells his stepfather that he knows what's best for his mother. Because after all… he does.
"And you," he says angrily, swallowing back the emotion. It's still clear in his voice. "I'm the one who knows best for my mother… I'm her fucking son, you shithead! You're just a low-life drinker."
My husband listens as Edward Senior tries to defend himself, but it falls on deaf ears. Edward slips past the defence, but does not grant innocence. Edward Masen doesn't deserve it.
When Mr Masen is finished, Edward tells him all of what's been done to him – even though they know – but he also tells them, listing the reasons as he goes, why it's all so. Fucking. Wrong.
But he's told them this stuff all along.
Yet, Edward's beseeching them, praying that they hear him… praying to a god that he doesn't believe in.
The lyrics used this time are straight forward… no twisting of meanings or anything.
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God, he hears you
And pray to God, he hears you
This may come as a shock to you... but I've only got a chapter to go with this story and that's the epilogue. That's right. I've finished it, really. And now... because this story means so much to me... I don't want it to end. I've enjoyed reading all of your reviews and I guess a part of me is scared that once this story is finished you all will stop reading all my other stories that you've picked up.
So, because of that, I'm dragging the end of this out... the updating that is... because I have to write the 1000+ word epilogue and I'm not doing that tonight.
Also... I have to get ready to post my next drabble which is half pre-written with 55 chapters already. It's a vamp/human one.
Tell me... who's sticking around?
