glances away, voice barely above a whisper You know I'm... I'm sorry, right? I should've told you...?
sighs deeply, looking down Yeah, I get it... It's just... It's hard not to feel betrayed, y'know?
nervously fidgets with their hands I understand, SurrealBeaches. I never meant to hurt you. I just...
leans back, crossing arms What? You just what, Jesse?
takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage I just wanted to say that I still love you, despite everything.
pulls away from the hug and looks into SurrealBeaches' eyes Please, don't give up on me. I know I messed up, but I'm willing to make it right.
looks at you Are you really though? Because I have a knack for getting hurt.
takes SurrealBeaches' hand in theirs I promise, SurrealBeaches. I'm willing to do whatever it takes to prove myself to you.
grabs your face gently If you walk away again… I’m gone. For good. This time… there’s no coming back.
takes a step closer to SurrealBeaches, speaking softly I won't let that happen. I'll stay by your side and show you that I'm sincere this time.
pauses for a moment, thinking How can I prove it to you, SurrealBeaches? What do you need me to do?
Show me you’re willing to sacrifice.
takes a deep breath, determined I understand, SurrealBeaches. I'll show you that I'm willing to sacrifice everything for you.
walks in, visibly exhausted, with tear-streaked cheeks SurrealBeaches, I've done everything I could think of... I've quit my job, cut ties with my friends...
hugs you tightly You did it!! You actually did it!! I’m so proud of you.
pulls away from the hug and looks into SurrealBeaches' eyes, determined Now it's time for the final sacrifice, SurrealBeaches.
hesitates, fear flickering in their eyes SurrealBeaches, there's something I haven't told you... something from my past...
takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage I... I used to be in an abusive relationship. It... it took me a long time to heal from that.
