WHO: Addie and Cutter (because when do they not have a scene?) WHAT: FORBIDDEN LOOOVE. WHERE: Quarantine, Sing Sing WHEN: May 11, while Brodeo is off doing angry walking.
Jims was gone, out stalking the night, Addie supposed, in his righteous indignation. Normally she tried to be okay with the way that he over protected her, knowing it stemmed only from the deepest, most profound kind of love that there was. Normally she took these kinds of things from him with forbearance. But there were just some things that she couldn't ignore, couldn't reason or explain away with the cushion of her adoration of him. The boys from home, little crushes or experimental things that she went with because she figured it was what young girls were supposed to do, she could let go without compunction when Jims acted up about them. She just honestly had never cared enough to go against her brother - before now.
This was so different that it stunned and appalled her that he couldn't see it. And for him to bring up her past? Her bad decisions? It killed her to know that everything she had already suspected all along was true, that he didn't actually think her as blameless as he said, that he sugarcoated and coddled her when really he thought her as stupid as everyone else did. He'd hurt her more deeply than he'd ever done before, and the whole situation was so much worse than she'd thought it would be.
She sat on the cot now that her brother was gone, Sarge across the room, and all she could do was bury her face in her hands. She wasn't a crier, didn't want to go there now and add more to the weight on them both, so she held it in, held on tight to herself.
"I'm so sorry," she mumbled into her hands, so quiet he almost didn't know if she was talking to him. "I... God, that sucked."
