Saved or Damned

She stared up at me with those azure eyes and I was lost in them for a moment.

He’s not my boyfriend, echoed in my ears, the disdain and disgust in her voice a familiar refrain.  All the times she’d said those same words… or worse.

She was waiting and I was denying before I could stop the words from bubbling forth, but she was still staring into me.

She was waiting for the truth.

God I was scared, but it was now or never.

Caroline saves me the leap, and I wonder if it saved me or damned me.



Thanks for reading :)

*meep* poor Connor. That last line is so sad, but true :(

[casy-dee.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yeah... that's one of those moments that just drive you to think "What if?"

Wow! So few words pack SUCH a powerful punch. That whole new fic I'm writing stems from this very scene.

[casy-dee.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I'm so excited for your next fic! This is just one of those key moments, I think. There are a couple of them in the series, but this is one of the strongest. :)

Holy cow! That was fantastic! It made me sad to see it happen and even sadder to read about, but it was written beautifully. Great job!

meep, poor Connor. That scene just makes me shout at the tv every time I watch it, as if shouting at him might make it end differently!

That scene always makes me cross. Nice look at it, and a very poetic use of words.
