All this new information. I needed time to let it sink in. He was actually making a good point, but what was I supposed to do, forgive him? I couldn’t.
He let out a huff and then took off back out through my window. I walked over to it, crying, and shut it. I turned off the lights, lay down, and got comfortable so I could take a nap. Even if what he was saying was true, it didn’t change the fact that he shot Daryl and my brother. I understood that he might only have been defending himself, but he wasn’t when he shot them. Of course, this was the first time I had gotten to hear his side of the story, but he was the one who went to Daryl’s house. If he needed to protect himself there, it was only because Daryl needed to protect himself as well.
When I managed to fall asleep, I only slept
