[Drabble] Understand the Difference...

Title: Understand the Difference
Original Fiction
Rating: PG
Word Count: 100
Prompt: #60 - Accident (for fiction_drabbles)

"It won’t happen again. You have to believe me."

"What makes you think you deserve any of my trust?" He turned away, either unable or unwilling to look at me. He was shutting me out and I was losing him. "You cheated on me. With him. After you told me so many times that you were just friends."

The sinking feeling in my gut only intensified as I tried to explain. "I didn’t mean to. It was an accident--"

"No," he said, with a coldness that I hadn’t expected. "It was a mistake. You don’t seem to understand the difference..."

<______________< This reminds me too much of my RL (in a way). Lmao. That's probably why this drabble struck a cord with me. :)

Thanks for saying so. ^_^

When I write, reality weighs heavily on me as I consider things like dialog and situations. I've had a lot of people in my life call things "accidents" to try and absolve themselves of responsibility. On the really serious stuff, people need to know the difference.
