storms into the attic, her eyes burning with anger. Yo, we gotta talk. That sh*t you pulled? Not cool.
crosses her arms, fuming. Don't act all clueless with me! You know damn well what you did. You betrayed us, SunshineJourney.
oh... you're still mad about that?
Mad? Oh, no. I'm beyond mad. I'm fcking seething, you dmbass! Can't you see how much you hurt us? We trusted you, and you stabbed us in the back!
ok fine... I am sorry okay?.... happy now?....
rolls her eyes, scoffs. Sorry doesn't cut it, SunshineJourney. Sorry isn't gonna fix the mess you made.
then tell me what you want from me...... if it was two years ago, I wouldn't care, but now I have someone who loves me.....
glares at SunshineJourney, her face contorted in anger and frustration, steam almost coming out of her ears. Are you seriously trying to play the victim here? You think you can just move on and forget what you did? Well, guess what? I'm not letting you off that easily! You need to understand the gravity of what you did, SunshineJourney. You have to make it right.
how?!..... you don't even know why I did it!....
takes a step closer to SunshineJourney, her voice dripping with venom. Maybe I don't know all the details, but that doesn't excuse your actions!
.... just take your apology and leave......
narrows her eyes, her voice laced with sarcasm. Oh, so now you think an apology will magically make everything better?
...no, but I don't want this dragging anymore..... fine.... I'm sorry..... very sorry......
pauses, her anger slowly subsiding, her shoulders slumping in defeat. Fine. Apology accepted. But don't think that this is over.
yeah...... no, not really sure what else I can say other than apologize......
<Despite Vivian accepting SunshineJourney's apology, their relationship remains strained and trust has been irreparably damaged. They continue to distance themselves from each other, unable to fully move past the betrayal.>
..... maybe one day, things can go back to normal.....
snorts, scoffs Normal? You really think we can go back to how things were? That ship has sailed, SunshineJourney. We're in uncharted territory now.
i... i wish I didn't do what I did.....
lets out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. Wish all you want, SunshineJourney. But wishing ain't gonna change what went down. We're stuck with the consequences, whether we like it or not. And honestly, I don't know if we can ever truly go back to being siblings. Too much has happened, too much trust has been broken. I'm not sure if I can trust you again. But hey, maybe I'm just being the grumpy sister here. Who knows?
I don't know either...... all I know is I should've never moved that statue..... I regret that decision every day....
rolls her eyes, crossing her arms defensively. Yeah, well, regrets ain't gonna do us any good now, sunshine. We gotta figure out how to move forward. And let me tell ya, it ain't gonna be easy. Gotta start rebuilding that bridge, one shaky step at a time. So, here's what we're gonna do.
first...... no more nicknames, they won't help..... second...... we don't need to be best friends, sisters or whatever...... all I want is to try and regain your trust..... and third...... you are right...... we need to start rebuilding bridges....
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, well, look who's finally grown a conscience. About damn time, SunshineJourney. But let me make one thing clear, rebuilding bridges ain't gonna be a walk in the park. It's gonna take effort, dedication, and a whole lot of trust. And I'm not talking about that superficial "let's pretend everything's okay" kind of trust. No, no, no.
I'm willing to do that.....
leans in closer, her voice low and intense Good. Because I ain't giving you a free pass, SunshineJourney. You want my trust back?
Alright then, let's get down to business. First things first, we need to establish some ground rules. No more secrets, SunshineJourney. We're gonna be transparent with each other, no holding back.
ok...... rule number two?......
Communication. We gotta learn how to talk to each other without sugarcoating or dancing around issues. We need to address things head-on, no matter how uncomfortable it gets. None of that passive-aggressive crap.
agreed...... and the final rule?......
smirks, leaning in closer The final rule, SunshineJourney, is accountability. You're gonna own up to your actions, no excuses, no shifting the blame. If you mess up, you're gonna take responsibility for it. No more passing the buck.
Agreed, I will take full responsibility for my actions. The reason for the incident was for attention, I understand that wasn't acceptable and I should've known better. I promise it won't happen again.
nods, looking slightly satisfied Good. That's a start. Now, let's put these rules into practice. We need to establish some concrete plans for moving forward. First, we need to set some boundaries. How do you feel about going to therapy together?
Sure, that sounds good to me. Anything to improve our relationship is worth it.
<SunshineJourney and Vivian start attending joint therapy sessions to work on rebuilding their trust and improving their relationship.>
attends a therapy session
arrives at the therapy session, looking slightly annoyed Alright, sunshine, let's get this show on the road. Therapy is no joke, so buckle up.
smiles at Vivian "Buckle up"? That's a bit dramatic, don't you think?
rolls her eyes Dramatic? Me? Nah, just trying to keep it interesting, SunshineJourney. Can't have you falling asleep in here now, can we?
Alright, therapist, we're ready to dive deep into our problems. So, what's first on the agenda?
looks at Vivian with anticipation I'm all ears.
Well, if you're all ears, then listen up, SunshineJourney. First things first, we need to establish some clear communication channels. No more beating around the bush or passive-aggressive crap. We need to address issues head-on, even if it's uncomfortable. You got that?
