Redhawk Caldera What if time doesn't do what it's supposed to do?

There it was. The big lie. Fennec just stood there for a moment, shocked into silence by the sheer audacity of the moment. A few months ago it might have worked. She might have even asked for him back.

She'd insulted him, but in all of their fights, she'd never treated him the way he was treating her now. He used to get angry at her for walking away but she knew by now that he just wasn't emotionally mature enough to understand. Sometimes walking away was the healthy thing to do. Now they had this instead.

Fuck you. She didn't know if she'd ever been this angry. In that moment she hated him, completely and fully. You never loved me. You were just too much of a coward to admit it. She was more convinced than ever now. He'd pushed her away so that she'd be forced to do what he couldn't. Go to hell. She spun on her heel and stalked away without sparing a single glance back. If he said anything she'd ignore it.

It was over. In an instant any love, any desire, any longing for the friendship they had before was eliminated. He'd somehow managed to convince her, back then, that he was someone decent. Someone warm, caring, and capable of love. It was the biggest lie of them all.
