"Maybe I'm just scared
To face the things I fear
It's easier to walk away
From everything"
~ 'Walk Away (Maybe)' by Good Charlotte
She sometimes wonders why it is she left Serenity. The real reason. Was it really, truly because she didn't want to tie herself down by getting too attached to Serenity and her crew? Was it?
She'd had passing thoughts that she'd never let herself fully indulge herself in that it was not. She'd had passing thoughts that she'd left for fear of making such attachments, such connections, that she'd get too close.
She had it ingrained into her mind that getting too close was disastrous. She couldn't afford it.
She had been falling, madly and deeply into what could only be labelled a relationship with Mal when she'd made up her mind to leave and that only strengthened that argument.
She had run to get away from her fears, her fears of falling hard, of being tied down.
It's a plausible enough theory to her. It makes sense.
She sometimes wonders if that theory were in fact correct, what pushed her to such rash behaviour? What pushed her to the edge of lunacy? The only answer she's ever come up with is love. Forbidden love.
