Monica's gone. The person I thought would stand beside me when everyone else would not has left. I'm not even worth the courtesy of a call. Just silence. And I don't even know what I did.

I want so badly to feel angry. But all I feel is guilt and shame. I opened my big mouth in the hearing and I let them down. And I can't take it back. And it might be the end of us.

And now I feel something brewing deep in my core. He is in there, just tormented by everything I've let happen. I want to give in to him. Into the abyss. It's just crushing me, and it's making him sick. Like the awful gravity of it all punched a black hole right through me and into him. And now we're both just empty and hollow.

Before, when my feelings of happiness constricted him, he fought back. I can feel him fighting back against this. But this... it's different. I don't know if he can win. And I don't know if I want him to.

I need to go somewhere we both feel safe. Somewhere we can figure this out.
