A place to capture and share the thought came to me in a flash of inspiration.

Sorry doesn't make up for everything you did to me

I believe that I, me will be crushed thousands of the times by what Charlie said to Ben.


In season two, Ben apologizes to Charlie, but he doesn't accept the apology.

Do you remember the first time you kissed me? You didn't even ask. You didn't pause to wonder whether it was what I wanted, and I went along with it because I had a crush, and I didn't know any better. I didn't realize that you had all the control. When I eventually did realize, I thought... 'This must be what I deserve.' Someone taking whatever he wants from me whenever he wants. Treating me like I'm nothing the rest of the time. Now, whenever anything good happens in my life, there's a little voice in the back of my mind telling me I'm worthless and that I don't deserve it. And now you want me to forgive you so you can feel better about yourself? I'm glad you realize what you did was wrong, but you don't get to ambush me into forgiving you. 'Sorry' doesn't make up for everything you did to me. I really hope you become a better person so you don't hurt anyone else. But I don't wanna be there to see that happen. I don't wanna see you ever again.
