Re: Call: Sam/Lou
[He's listening, but while she's talking, this exchange occurs. When he speaks again, his tone has changed entirely, night to day.]
Everyone did something wrong here. Everyone. Cris should grow up and learn to leave well enough alone, Neil should take responsibility for his fucking life and stop putting the blame for everything on other people when he'd rather have them decide things for him, and you shouldn't have invited him to come fuck you. Of course, then we get into the mitigating circumstances - you were drunk and upset because you fought with Cris. Don't worry, he told me about it in detail. Cris was upset because you're not willing to commit to him at the speed he would like, and because Neil, or perhaps his own personality, makes him cripplingly insecure. But there is no doubt to anyone that Cris loves you, unequivocally. Meanwhile, Neil, who is in a committed relationship, responded to an obviously drunk request from you to fuck you by traipsing merrily over to see you instead of calling literally anyone else, and now you're defending him as if he should have been SHOCKED to have you PROPOSITION HIM FOR SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WHEN THAT WAS THE STATED REASON FOR MEETING. THIS IS INSANE, SAM. Everyone is right! EVERYONE IS WRONG. No one is without blame here, not you, not Cris, not Neil. And you're right, Neil is off somewhere self-flagellating, but he'll come back exactly the same and his behavior won't change a fucking whit, and Cris is off getting drunk somewhere and hating me for not adequately enabling how much he despises my brother and how much better his life would be if only you were A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FUCKING PERSON.
I COULD NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK WHO TELLS WHAT TO MEREDITH.
