Leon just sat there, not ready to hug Michi back as she tried to explain, as she shouldered all the responsibility for Adelaide's death on her own. It wasn't her fucking fault, so why did she keep turning everything about as if it was? He watched Rowan with a clenched jaw, hands slowly going up to Michi's wrist...
"Get the fuck over it," he snapped harshly, hands clenching a little before he let go to reach for the bottle of rum instead. "She's a fucking twat. She is a cowardly twat that..."
He trailed off as he pulled away from Michi to stand, lifting the bottle to his lips for yet one more drink. "She fucking planned this shit out, and didn't care about you or anyone else. So why the fuck are you crying? Why the fuck do you feel like you failed? You didn't fail Michi. You didn't do anything. It was all her! She was the miserable bitch of a friend..."
And maybe he was just too angry to acknowledge his own feelings of guilt. If anyone carried more blame for what happened, he did didn't he? He'd ruined her life, taken her virginity, then hid from her like some coward because 'oh, I'm gay' seemed like a badge of shame. And that was the rub, wasn't it? She was six feet under because he was gay, and if he hadn't been, she'd be sat on his bed right now talking about how stupid this class or that class was.
He could have made her happy.
"Fuck this, fuck her, and fuck all this mourning and crying shit. She isn't worth it!" He scowled, moving to his door to fling it open. Stepping out into the all, he took a deep breath before bellowing loudly, "Fuck that fucking cunt! Fuck Addy."
