134 Why Does It Hurt So Bad?

@@

Grace just simply shook her head, and gently led him by the hand to the bed. She gestured for him to lay down, and then casually straddled him, forcing him to look at her. "There was nothing more that you could have done to stop them. What happened was on Danny. And this Rob person, too. You, being the responsible and good friend that you are, did everything in your power to stop it, but ultimately came up short. Do you know why?"

"Because I'm not as good of a person as I like to believe I am?" Stephen whispered.

"Because you can't control free will," Grace corrected. "You're not a genie, Stephen. You just command one," She smiled.

"Then why does it hurt so bad, Grace?"

"It hurts so bad because you lost someone so close to you. In something that you know could have been prevented, so that makes it more tragic. But the only person that could have prevented that was Danny, not you."

"You make it sound so rational. So easy, but it's hard for me to just get that and move on."

"Master, please trust me," Grace began, reverted back to her original title for him. Stephen perked up, noticing the change as well. "I can't lie to you. It's part of the rules behind my submission to you. You could not have done anything more to prevent what happened. If you had tried to intervene further, you just would have emboldened them, in spite of you. They were going to go no matter what. Trust me on this."
