“You were just trying to help Carrie.” Cass shrugged and turned her face away, staring hard at the wall.

Cass took a deep breath before venturing a glance at him. “Nothing’s going to get better if we don’t talk.”

“…” Cass looked away. “I regret what I did, and I know I’ve ruined a lot of things for a lot of people, but I can’t let guilt rule my life. I don’t blame you for anything that happened. And,” She sighed, glancing back at him.
“I’ve forgiven both of us. Your turn."

“It happened,” Cass looked down. “And it’s not going to go away just because we want it to.”

“If it’ll make it easier for you, I’ll never talk about it again.” Cass looked down, biting her lip. “But I can’t pretend it never happened. I can’t forget.”

“It isn’t,” Cass looked up. “But I fucked up and I have to deal with the consequences.”

"We both fucked up." Xander sighed. "But doesn't everyone?"

Cass shrugged, not willing to argue that her f**k up had been worse than most, not willing to argue at all. “I don’t want to forget it, Xander. Dying's the best thing that's happened to me.”

Xander stepped back, not trusting himself to look at her. "....is it?"

“It got me sober.” Cass gave an apologetic little grin. “I was using a lot, more than you knew. Especially at the end. I would have over dosed eventually. Would’ve taken Gabe with me.”
She faltered, looking down. “At least this way Gabe’s okay. We’re okay, just lost a few years, right?”

“It’s not what I wanted.” Cass looked down. “But it’s not the worst that could’ve happened.” She glanced back at him, looking him in the eye.
“Can I tell you something?”

“This,” Cass sighed, looking down again and scratching at her arm. “It’ll be my first time sober. That’s why I’m scared.”

"Cass...." Xander sighed, wanting to argue with her, tell her that wasn't true, but he couldn't
