You ever stop to think that I'm young, and I'm scared, and there's an entire mob family trying to kill me? That there's a wolf only I can keep from eating people's faces off? That now Vaughn's threatening to kill Rose, and ruin you and Shane's lives even more if I don't let her do whatever she wants with me? I ain't trying to be difficult, Daniel. And I ain't trying to be stupid. I'm doin the best I can around a whole slew of broken people who can't help me. You ain't got it in you to help yourself, and Shane's so broke he can't see right. Rose is innocent in this stupid way that still thinks people are made of goodness. And Vlad, Vlad's been tryin to help, but you ain't even got any idea how broken he is - maybe worse than all of us.
I ain't askin for your pity or your help, but friends listen and they don't shut people out just for makin mistakes. Especially when the mistake was just wanting to protect y'all.
Don't bother answerin. I won't check, so you don't feel like you gotta.
