*blinks awake, shivering. The light is too bright and he closes his eyes again. He looks around and realizes that he had fallen asleep in the bathtub. Getting up, he reaches for a large plush towel and wraps around his trembling, cold body. Before stepping out of the cold water, he reaches down and pulls the stopper out of the drain. Rubbing his arms to get warm, he mutters under his breath about taking sleeping pills after baths instead of before. His pruny skin is saturated with water, and he carefully puts his clothes back on. Careful to be quiet, he sneaks into his bedroom to grab some clothes and runs back to the guestroom before Jen can wake up*
I can't believe what I've done. And. The way he looked at me. I never thought I would be on the receiving end of that look. Not from him. I want to say I know what he must be feeling, but I couldn't say that for sure. I don't feel things like he. And I hurt him. Bad. Things are different. I went looking for trouble. Guess I found it good and well. I want to make it all better, make it up to him, but how could I ever? Why should I even get a second chance? I hurt him. I could see it so clearly. Just the look in his eyes. He asked me if it was payback. God, no, of course not. I got passed that. I've forgiven, but this is different. This was Lance being, yes, you've guessed it, stupid. Stupid stupid stupid.
And God, Jen and Chris. I still don't know how they don't completely hate me. I still feel like I should've been hit. Really hard. In painful places.
Christ, what the hell was I thinking? He's everything to me. Everything and I ruined it. Fucked it up like everything else. All I can say is, I'm sorry. To everyone involved. Everyone who knows. Feel free to just severe all ties with me if you want, I deserve it. Don't say I don't. I know I do. You know who you are.

*ignoring his growling stomach, pulls out the bottle of sleeping pills from the night before, just taking some dry. He slides under the covers of the guestbed, curled up under the sheets, trembling slightly as he slips into a fitful sleep*
