Not everyone can. Some people got expectations to live up to I was in a closet too, remember. Not about sex, but about other things. It's not like I don't get it.
But you're not now. You have people you can trust with the truth and who are there for you.
You know how I feel about staying in this place, but the truth? If not for my mom I don't think I would ever go back to Roswell. The more I learn, the more I see the truth behind everything and I hate it.
But I shouldn't have thought that of him. Cheating on my mom. Ignoring Rosa until it was too late to be there for her. Being part of Caulfield. Being an obviously corrupt cop. Turning a blind eye on the man Jesse was to his son. All of it. I was a fool for my entire life.
You were a kid. You shouldn't have to expect that your parents are the bad guys. That isn't on you. It matters what you do with it now that you know. You stood with us at Caulfield. That means something.
In the end he wasn't a good man. There's no reason to put more thought into him and what choices he made. Eventually he made different choices. It doesn't change what we know.
[He hasn't talked about this since he got there, since he told Alex about being shot, but he realizes he hasn't dealt with it. He just wants to close it off again.]
I can't argue that. I could have gone on without ever knowing. It's just... it makes me think about the man I was and the one I became but I don't want to put excuses there either.

They do change though and we've changed. No smart ass comments on that.

Everything that came out, about Alex's dad, about yours
That must've messed you up.

I know, not healthy. Lots have it worse. Hell, Alex alone does. I just have to deal with it.

Dealing with the bad in people is a lot easier when you don't expect them to be good.

I think maybe I've lost sight of that.

Quit blaming yourself. You're way too good at that.
no subject
But you're right. I don't think I've been myself for longer than I can remember.
[At least six months. Maybe the whole years he's been there.]
no subject
Your choices aren't Elijah's, either.
[ He knows that's what this is about, too. Elijah, Hayley, that whole mess. It's not not a mess, but Michael's pretty clear on where the fault lies. ]
Anyway beating yourself up about it's only gonna hold you back. You need to get back in the world again. Fangs and all.

Is that an offer for a date, Guerin? I'm touched but I'm taken.

Maybe I need to take you shopping.
