Re: Lori + Scor
Scorpius had a thousand thoughts running through his head, of being taken, and of watching Lori who he thought was dead, of how he had cried all night. It was stupid. Why had he done that and why had he believed that he could be that one. It wasn't Lori, it was him, his fault. It always was and he wasn't good enough.
"You still want him," he answered evenly, tears threatening to win the battle that was raging. "After what he did and what we did." He bit his lip. "You said it was just us."
He closed his eyes. It was a losing battle and his heart was ripping open. He didn't know what to say but he couldn't look at Lori. He took a drink instead, downing the glass without really caring. "Can't say I blame you. I'm not worth a damn thing, not to my family and not to you."
He kept his eyes closed wishing this would all go away, that this could start over and the world would right itself. "I would have fought for you."
