Oh, I didn't think it'd take it away. It shouldn't. And you shouldn't ever get over it, because I certainly won't and most of the versions of me don't get the chance to even try. I understand why it happened, though, and in that vein, I do forgive you. You were a child, albeit a stupid and impulsive one being manipulated. What Derek did has changed my life completely forever, physically, mentally, and emotionally. It wasn't fair, and it isn't fair, but there's nothing that can be done about it now.
