TM 259: I don't understand
[I don’t understand]
I don’t understand why he left me there in the jungle. Yeah I get that he’s tired of saving my ass but I’d just sorta saved his and I thought maybe we were even. I know he was afraid I’d try and stop him from doing what he’s going to do. And he’s right, I would and I will. We’ve both seen the extremes I’ll go to stop that future from being realized but I thought we could exist on opposite sides of an issue and still want the other’s safety. I thought so many things and yet none of them were true.
I guess I shouldn’t have told him what I did in the jungle but it’s true and if my words can get him away from Mom and Dad and Linderman then I don’t regret them. Nathan can be the best man I know but he’s rarely his own man. That incident at Kirby Plaza not withstanding. The incident he resents me for. Among so many others. I know I got the life Nathan wanted. I know I got to have it because he didn’t but I always thought…I guess I just thought he only loved me, without restraints, conditions or bitterness. I guess there isn’t such a thing.
I don’t understand…I thought there was.
