Time to step up

[Akirapryde]

Rebecca decided to take her seat again instead of looming over him. But she was anger at the whole situation. She didn’t what to do or how to handle it. ‘uncomfortable’ she thought, the decision placed her in a position that was nearly hopeless. But when he uttered the words ‘completely void of anything that even resembled honor’ her anger boiled. While she admits that her behavior wasn’t prefect, calling her dishonorable was a step too far. She allowed her anger to show on her face, but kept her mouth shut.

Rebecca set there boiling her in anger. It was clear that his words were sinking in, but he had once again placed his ego before the situation. “I never once” she said dripping with venom and anger, “accused you of being a bad leader.” Her mind was racing so fast with everyone she wanted to say. Everything she needed to say. She could barely keep them in line and she was sure that it sounded like that as she spoke. It was clear that she was holding back her anger, just barely. “Your problem is, you make bad choices, like that one. Then you try to lie your way out of it Richard. You had no grand plan when you made those selections. You didn’t even give it a thought until after it had started. In fact, I am willing to bet that you didn’t even care until you sent Simon in. Then and only then did you try to make the best situation out of what had already been done.”

“At least I can admit what I did was stupid, NOT BETRAYAL” Rebecca forced herself to stop talking. Her anger was getting the best of her. She had to get her anger under control. But his accusation burned her deeply. She really tried hard to keep her anger under control but it was becoming hard. After taking a deep breath she resumed. “Let’s talk about being a good leader compared to a bad leader. I screwed up. No doubt. I won’t deny that. But stop lying! There was no grand plan here Richard. There was just you trying to cover for your mistake and placing everything on me. Which is fine, I got broad shoulders I can bare it. But you don’t get off with this pile of crap. You want me to be responsible, then yell! Then be mad! Show me some gosh dang emotions, Richard!”
