Summary: Why to I keep the role up... Hutch POV

For an audience of one
by Belladonna

Why do I keep the role up, why do I continue playing Hutch? The Hutch everybody wants from me?

Expects to see?
Expects me to be?

The one I am not.

Has he become such a fundamental part of me, that I can't stop? Cannot turn him off, even when instead of all the others, it's just Starsky I'm with? The only one I don't need to fool.

Why do I still pretend to be him, that everything is like it should be, this happy facade I've perfected when it's only an audience of one I'm performing in front of?
