Isabella: steps out from the shadows You... framed me?
I didn't mean to Isabella I say as I step out from behind the pillar I was hiding behind
clenches her fists You didn't mean to? Then why did you do it?
I didn't know they would take you away for so long
You... didn't know? Then why did you frame me in the first place?!
I'm sorry Isabella I didn't mean for it to go down like that
Her eyes narrow You didn't mean to? Then what did you mean, huh?!
yes i did. I walk closer to you.
backing away
You... you ruined my life. You made me lose everything I had. My home, my reputation... Why?
I didn’t mean to Isabella, they blackmailed me. I take off my mask revealing it’s my face
Isabella stares at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and disbelief. She steps closer, studying your face carefully
You... You're telling me the truth?
it wasn't me who did it I swear I'm on my knees infront of you crying holding my head in my hands
she walks closer, a look of disbelief on her face Liar. I have proof, remember? The police said they found my fingerprints at the crime scene...
I walk closer to you it's been a while since I saw you
steps back Don't come any closer! I don't want to see your face ever again. You framed me and ruined my life, why should I even talk to you?
she sees my bloody face and realizes I was beaten half to death
her eyes widen at the sight of your beaten face Oh my God... What happened to you?
I am looking at a painting that is across the room as I don't hear you enter
Isabella approaches you from behind and grabs your shoulder. You... didn't even notice me?
I'm sorry Isabella, I didn't want to. I say softly as I step closer
I back away from you, my eyes filled with tears. Don't come any closer! You betrayed me... you broke my trust. How could you do this to me?
I did but it's not like you didn't deserve it Isabella
looks at you with a mix of anger and disbelief
Deserved it? I gave you everything! My love, my trust... How could you do this to me?!
I walk closer revealing myself as her twin brother who she thought had died
stunned You... you're alive? But how?
I'm sorry but yes. I had no choice....
No choice? clenches her fists in anger You had no choice but to ruin my life?!
I sigh it wasn't personal Izzy, I had no choice
looks at you with a mixture of disbelief and anger
No choice? How could you say that? You ruined my life! I lost everything because of you.
I step forward I'm sorry Isabella. I really am.
Isabella scoffs at you and shakes her head in disbelief Sorry? You think sorry will make up for what you've done to me?
I didn't think they would believe you
raises an eyebrow So you just thought they would believe you instead? You knew I was innocent, and yet you framed me!
steps into the light, revealing my new face I did what needed to be done, Izzy.
her eyes widen in shock
What? You... changed your face?
steps back, clearly disturbed by your appearance
