And now the others had forgiven her? So easily? She could see them fawning over the little traitor. And there was nothing she could do about it. They liked Taylor more.
Honestly, this is fair. Rachel has every right to not have forgiven Taylor, even without her lonely past and doggified brain.
They would keep Taylor on the team and make Bitch leave if it came down to it. She knew it in her gut.
It really does seem that way at this point.
So she’d done something stupid. She’d tried to get rid of her teammate, and she’d done it in a way that haunted her. More than anything, more than all of the people she’d hurt, the people she’d accidentally killed, or the days she’d scrounged in the trash for food when she’d been homeless, wandering the cities on her own, she hated herself for what she’d done to Taylor.
Yeeeah. That was low.
So what did you think of Taylor’s spiel afterwards?
She had acted like the people who haunted her memories, using what should have been a position of trust to try to hurt someone.
Yep.
In retrospect, even besides the lonely past, I find it rather appropriate that Rachel was the one most hurt by Taylor’s betrayal, the least willing to forgive her, and the one who is now feeling awful about betraying Taylor in turn, even if it was just a taste of Taylor’s own medicine.
After all, which trait is most responsible for the dog’s title of “Man’s Best Friend”?
Loyalty.
