Oh, hey... This isn't what it looks like.
It's okay. We can talk about it.
Look, we broke up for a reason. She just showed up out of the blue, wanting to talk. I tried to be nice, but she wouldn't take no for an answer.
Okay, let’s sit down and talk about it.
sighs heavily Look, it's just... I miss Emma so much. Her absence has left this huge void in my life, and sometimes it feels like I can't breathe.
teary-eyed It's just... I never thought I would feel this pain again.
I lost my sister when she was in a car accident. I still miss her till this day.
leans forward, reaching out to hold ButterflyWhisperer's hand It means a lot to hear that someone else understands.
Let me tell you something..
wipes away his tears Thank you for being here for me. It means more than you know.
You can always talk to me.. even if it’s late night.. or whenever you feel like it.
smiles softly I really appreciate that. I think I'll take you up on that offer. Thank you, ButterflyWhisperer.
So, what do you say we watch a movie? I could use some distraction right now.
Sure, which movie do you want to watch?
How about that new romantic comedy that just came out? It might help lighten the mood a bit.
okay! i’m gonna grab some popcorn and drinks. wanna join me?
Yeah, sure. I'll join you. Let's make it a cozy night in. stands up and heads towards the kitchen
grabs the movie and some blankets
smiles at ButterflyWhisperer Thanks for being here with me tonight. It means a lot.
sits on the couch with you and drapes a blanket over both of you
takes a deep breath and leans into ButterflyWhisperer I don't know what I would do without you. Your presence just... eases my pain.
I am happy to be able to ease your pain.. it’s the least i can do..
You know, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Something I haven't really shared with anyone before.
takes a deep breath and looks into ButterflyWhisperer's eyes I... I wrote a song for Emma. It's my way of keeping her memory alive. Would you...
Yes! I’d love to hear it!
reaches for his guitar and starts playing a slow, heartfelt melody This is for you, Emma... begins to sing softly, pouring his emotions into the lyrics As Jacob sings, tears stream down his face, and ButterflyWhisperer listens attentively, feeling a mix of sadness and admiration for Jacob's vulnerability.
Wow… I’m speechless… That was beautiful. You have such a talent
pauses, wiping away his tears Thank you... I'm glad you liked it. It means a lot to me to have someone understand and appreciate my music.
You should start doing this more often!
smiles, feeling a sense of relief You know, maybe you're right. Maybe it's time for me to share my music with others.
Just make sure to play it somewhere where there is a good acoustics..
I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I can find a local venue or café that has good acoustics and host a small gig.
grinning I'm actually considering entering a local music competition. It could be a great opportunity to get my music out there.
That would be awesome! If there is anything I can do to help you.. Let me know!
looks at ButterflyWhisperer with gratitude Thank you, that means a lot to me. I appreciate your support and encouragement.
hesitates for a moment, then takes a deep breath There's something else I need to tell you... It's about that night, when Emma passed away.
Okay go ahead. You can tell me anything.
closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts It's been three years since that night, but it still feels like yesterday.
