it's all my fault

Tate Bennett. Aged eighteen..with.. PTSD and depression.

Where did you get ice cream from?

[mrtatebennett]

My doctor gave me some because I'm doing good.

[not-insane-like-randa-blog]

I’m stealing that. Just letting you know.

[mrtatebennett]

Too late.

[florastoker]

Right. I don’t respect myself, that’s the problem.

[mrtatebennett]

No. I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry.

[mrtatebennett]

[florastoker]

Yeah, sorry. I guess I haven’t come to expect anything else when someone kisses me. That’s not meant to be anti-men, it’s just- I’m screwing this up a bit, aren’t I?

[mrtatebennett]

No, no. It's fine. I get it.

I'm just not like that. I respect you.

[florastoker]

I guess.

[mrtatebennett]

I want to wait.

[florastoker]

It’s okay, if you wanted sex, all you needed to do was say.

[mrtatebennett]

Oh, um, no. I mean..it's not that. I don't want that. I mean I do but not now. I just.. I don't want to have sex with you. For a while. Am I making any sense?

[florastoker]

[mrtatebennett]

I'm so bad at this.

[a-cavender-blog]

You should learn to detect sarcasm, kiddo.

[mrtatebennett]

Perhaps you should be nicer to your patients, sir?

[florastoker]

I’m a little lost too.

[mrtatebennett]

[a-cavender-blog]

Lovely to see all my patients have been doing….well.

[mrtatebennett]

I didn't realize I was doing well.

[florastoker]

[mrtatebennett]

I don't know what to say..

[florastoker]

[mrtatebennett]

[florastoker]

Oh-!

[mrtatebennett]

[florastoker]

Of course, of course I will.

[mrtatebennett]

[florastoker]

Okay, they don’t need to. Do you want me to stay with you? Or something? I don’t know what else to do.

[mrtatebennett]

Please stay..

[florastoker]

That… That is odd. Have you seen a nurse? Or do you think it’s related to your diagnosis?

[mrtatebennett]

I don't want anyone else to know.
