Tatum Donnelly ([info]ojandtostitos) wrote in [info]blueridgeau,
"Well, you stood up for yourself, but what good did it do? You don't needa go and get yourself beat up on our behalf," Tatum murmured, trying her best to be gentle as she continued wiping at his face. She needed to get most of the dried blood off, it was grossing her out and she didn't want him sleeping on her couch like that. It was where she assumed he would end up eventually, once she was done.

"Something is wrong. It's like.. how can they preach this stuff about God lovin' everybody, but then turn around and tell us that just kiddin' He only loves you if you're just a certain way. Either he loves everybody no matter what, or he don't. You can't preach about love for everybody an' then.. y'know, exclude people."

She sighed heavily, lowering the cloth and taking a minute to inspect his face. "You can't fight who you are, Rath. I tried it, and it doesn't work. It might work for a little while, but it'll never feel right. You can try as hard as you want, but if you're not true to yourself.. well, what's the point?"

Caught off guard by his tears, she hesitated for a second, before lifting her wand and muttering a charm, closing up a bad split in his lower lip now that he had lifted his face to look at her. "I can't tell you what to do, you're a grown ass man.. but a real man knows when to step down, y'know. When to stand up for what's really right, not necessarily what someone tells him is right. But like.. what he knows is right. And it sounds to me like you know that you've been wrong, that daddy's been wrong all this time."

Tatum chewed her lip a moment, before letting her eyes meet Rath's. "We were born the way we were, all of us. Parents are supposed to love your kids no matter what, no matter who they are. What kinda dad can't even love his own girls, because we're not exactly what he wants? Well, I'm done livin' like that and I gotta love who I love. You should too."
