i should apologize to
you as well, when you
got with gomez i was
less than accepting of
you being happy.
i’ve had a lot of time to
reflect on it though.
( she sank into the
couch the moment
they were inside
again. )
we did, i mean, for
me and the way i
remember things as
i am right now. the
last time we said
that was yesterday. . .
you used to say that
all the time when we
were—well when i
was younger.
i think we were supposed
to meet for a reason
and maybe it was to
be each other’s safe
spaces.
even if we can’t be
together.
( her bottom lip wobbled,
tears still streaming
down her cheeks as
she listened to the
other. )
okay . . .
( her voice cracked, but
larissa was right. they'd
made that promise to
each other the moment
they had become best
friends. )
we promised!
we promised to always
take care of each other
no matter what, don’t
you remember?
we can fix this and then
we will fix 𝙪 𝙨. . .don’t
shut me out again,
please. . .
i'm not your problem
rissa. i never should
have been.
( the pain is clear in
her eyes, who else
had she managed to
hurt? )
just— let me go. you
deserve better. you
always have.
it will be okay.
i won’t let you
face this alone. . .
( she couldn’t pull
tish into her arms
due to the situation
no matter how bad
she wanted to. )
come on, come with
me.
tish! do not search for
him, it will only hurt you
we can find a way to
fix this.
( cautiously taking a
step forward as she
spoke, holding her
hand out. )
