George stopped himself from frowning, keeping a neutral expression as he dressed the bandage and wrapped it securely around the cuts. “That feel okay?”
-
“Y-Yeah, that’s good,” Clay replied, nodding as he looked back. He exhaled softly, watching George for a moment. “I’m sorry, I- I should’ve texted or- or called you, or something…”
-
“I mean- I wish you did, but I get it, it’s hard to think of it, like, spur of the moment,” George said softly, smiling sympathetically.
-
Clay nodded, rubbing his face with his hands. “I really can’t do anything right, can I…” He muttered, clenching his hands into fists.
-
“What? No, that’s not true,” George frowned, sitting down next to Clay.
-
“Yes, it- it is true…” Clay muttered, exhaling shakily as he pressed his hands against his closed eyes.
-
“No- you’re so capable- you do so much all the time and take all of this hate,” George said, frowning.
-
“I- I feel like I keep f-f---ing everything up, though…”
-
“No, you keep f---ing yourself up,” George said with a frown, offering his hand. “I promise you’re doing a good job otherwise.”
-
Clay exhaled shakily, taking George’s hand. “I- I just feel like s-such a failure…”
-
“Baby, you’re not,” George said softly, squeezing Clay’s hand. “I promise-“
-
"B-But, I- I keep messing up! I keep d-doing the wrong thing! No- no matter what I do, n-nothing pleases my mother..." Clay spoke, his voice shaky.
-
“Clay, I know you wanna please your mother, but you obviously cant do that without changing who you are or doing things that are- like, against what you wanna do, y’know?” George said softly. “So- I’m sorry, but I think you need to stop caring about what your mother thinks, because she’s obviously wrong.”
-
Clay paused, nodding a little. "Right- yeah, you've- you've got a point," he spoke softly, running a shaky hand through his hair.
-
“And that sucks, hun, it does,” George said softly, squeezing Clay’s hand gently. “But it’s for the better, okay?”
