Although Blay called for me, I found myself stuck in place. Just processing everything makes me sick to my stomach, but this was finally it. My long, LONG journey is coming to a close. After taking a breath, I finally found the courage to open the door.
Blay is standing by the bedside, and in the bed himself was the man I spent so much time looking for.
At least, who I thought I was looking for. I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but even I could clearly understand whatโs been going on. โMY internโ, Alfendi not being at the scene of the crimeโฆ
Billโฆ is itโฆ is it really you?
I already know how this is going to play out. Billโs going to either laugh at or admonish me for getting emotional again. And yet, I canโt stop my voice from breaking as I saw his eyes softly light up in recognition.
Iโฆ itโs you! Oh, Iโm so glad to know youโre ok! Even if itโsโฆ like this. B-Bill, how did this happen? You mustโve just, h-happened upon the body, right?
Oh no. I can feel my eyes sting as I flashed back through the past few days.
Bill, why would you lie to me? Weird as this situation is, you know I want nothing more than to help you! To keep you happy. Did I do something wrong? You couldโve told me the truth, and I wouldโve came anyways. (Saving my sanity in the process.)
I thought I was past this. I thought I had finally grown into someone strong, someone who didnโt cry. Someone like Bill. Yet here I am, more pathetic than ever.
Everyoneโs been so worried about you, Bill. Truly. There must be a reason why you havenโt been back for so long, right? Parliament needs you! Britain needs you! Heckโฆ I need you. You know that. So why? Why wouldnโt you trust-
I canโt utter a word more. Instead, I succumb to the overwhelming feelings of relief and hurt flowing through me. Turning away from Bill, I sobbed into my hands freely. I thought our reunion would be a joyous occasion; instead, the whole affair had been stained with something foul. I thought I was someone at least Bill could rely onโฆ I guess I really am just as worthless as I was always told.
