Sookie Stackhouse Book question - When Eric forced Bill to tell Sookie why he came to Bon Temps...?

When Eric forced Bill to come clean with Sookie about why he came to Bon Temps and got to know her... How would you have reacted?

Would you, like Sookie have just walked out of the hospital walked for a while around New Orleans crying and angry till you got back to the apartment you were there to clean out???

Bill explains.... "When your cousin Hadley was becoming the queen's favorite ..."

And suddenly I saw it all, knew what he was going to say, and I rose up on the hospital bed with a gasp, one hand to my chest because I felt my heart shattering. But Bill's voice went on, even though I shook

my head violently.

"Apparently, Hadley talked about you and your gift a lot, to impress the queen and keep her interest.

And the queen knew I was originally from Bon Temps. On some nights, I've wondered if she sent someone to kill the last Compton and hurry things along. But maybe he truly died of old age." Bill was looking down at the floor, didn't see my left hand extended to him in a "stop" motion.

"She ordered me to return to my human home, to put myself in your way, to seduce you if I had to ..."

I couldn't breathe. No matter how my right hand pressed to my chest, I couldn't stop the decimation of my heart, the slide of the knife deeper into my flesh.

"She wanted your gift harnessed for her own use," he said, and he opened his mouth to say more.

My eyes were so blurred with tears that I couldn't see properly, couldn't see what expression was on his face and didn't care anyway. But I could not cry while he was anywhere near me. I would not.

"Get out," I said, with a terrible effort. Whatever else happened, I could not bear for him to see the pain he had caused.

He tried to look me straight in the eyes, but mine were too full. Whatever he wanted to convey, it was lost on me. "Please let me finish," he said.

"I never want to see you again, ever in my life," I whispered. "Ever."

    I would have tried to kick him in the nuts. Cause she was totally into him, and then he found out that this love they had began by the Queen whoring him out, so to speak. Imagine how embarrassed and hurt you'd be!!!

    It's hard to say what I would do, but, in some ways, Sookie is a lot stronger than me. When I'm emotionally raw like that, it's hard to handle being alone. So, I probably would've sought comfort from Eric or gone back to the apartment to talk to Amelia.
