...yeah. Guess so.

[treehouse_dean]

,,,

guess we should start at the Michael thing. ... M'not mad at you.

[treehouse_tess]

...I don't know why you aren't. I deserve it.

[treehouse_dean]

Can't help how you feel, and it's not like I've been the greatest boyfriend ever. He was... was good to you.

[treehouse_tess]

Dean... don't say that please. You are- were... are a good boyfriend. I'm just a horrible girlfriend...

[treehouse_dean]

...

You were with me when I thought my world was ending, and I couldn't even stick around long enough to make your birthday awesome.

You're a far cry from 'bad girlfriend', Tess.

[treehouse_tess]

But you've done other things since then, Dean... You can't keep harping on that. And this is a lot worse than a missed birthday...

[treehouse_dean]

Yeah, everything I've done since then has kinda been worse. Hell, I'm not even home half the time, and you keep going through things and I'm never there to help. I mean, fuck, where was I when you were a little girl? Or when you got drunk and tried to cook? I could've stopped that, could've done anything and I didn't.

I think me being a neglectful bastard is a step above having feelings for the guy you almost got hitched to.

[treehouse_tess]

*rubs her face tiredly* You were busy... you were hunting or with Sam... It doesn't matter...

[treehouse_dean]

... Ya'know, I'm no expert on relationships, but I think that's the kinda stuff that matters. That's why we were having problems in the first place.

[treehouse_tess]

I don't know... I'm... really confused. and I don't know what to do with myself anymore, Dean.

[treehouse_dean]

...

Okay. Just... just know, no matter what you choose, I'll still..

[treehouse_tess]

I love you too, Dean. I just...I don't know what I want anymore. I'm confused, I don't feel the same about anything anymore and everything feels like it's been going wrong. i just... don't know.

[treehouse_dean]

... It's okay. I'll just... you need time to think it all out, so...

whenever you feel like you're ready to talk, I'll be here.

[treehouse_tess]

Dean... I think I've made up my mind...

[treehouse_dean]

...

Okay. ... What... um. What'd you decide?
