Remix of were_lemur's Paradox



Charlie asked me to marry him and my heart stops.

Half of it wants to beat YES. Finally, a nice guy, a chance at normal.

I destroyed the last of them. The war should be over before it even begins.

The other half beats NO! I can't let my guard down, that's when they come for you. It will never be over. I can't get lost in the idea of could have beens.

It's not like I have a Terminator to watch over him anymore.

It's time to leave, but I know Charlie won't understand that I can't let myself get soft. Not for him. Not even for my son.

The Terminator I destroyed rather than risk falling into the wrong hands would have understood that.
