strides in with a smirk, slamming his hand against the cold wall "Look who's caged like a rat!"
laughs sarcastically "Oh, look at the little artist! Trying to make this hellhole sound pretty, huh?"
Do you not remember me? I say weakly.
leans against the wall, crossing his arms "Remember you? Why would I waste my time remembering a pathetic excuse for a human like you?"
We used to date back when we were 16.. before your parents forced us apart because we were “too young.”
narrows his eyes, a flicker of recognition crossing his face "So you're the one who thinks they can play with my heart, huh?"
You loved me.. why did you betray me?.. Why did you join a gang that murdered people?
pushes himself off the wall and steps closer, his voice low and dangerous "Betray you? You really think I betrayed you?
Yes, Scar… I know it was you…
grabs OrchidSerenity by the collar, pulling them closer "You don't know shit, do you? I didn't join a gang, I created it.
How does that excuse murdering people?!?!?
glares at OrchidSerenity, his grip tightening on their collar "Those people were threats, Orchid. Threats to us, to our happiness.
And you took away their lives. Your own happiness wasn’t worth their lives, Scar.
throws OrchidSerenity against the wall, his face inches from theirs "You think you can judge me? You think you can just waltz back into my life and act like you know what's best for me? You don't know shit about what I've been through!"
You thought I abandoned you, Scar… I didn’t leave… but you left me… My voice breaks as tears stream down my cheeks.
releases his grip on OrchidSerenity, his expression softening slightly "You think I wanted to leave? You think I wanted to hurt you?"
You disappeared without an explanation… I was confused, scared, hurt… I never stopped loving you but you were gone… then your photos began surfacing all over the internet…. Killing became part of who you were… What happened to you?
takes a step back, his eyes glistening with unshed tears "I was forced into this life, Orchid. My family... they were killed right in front of me.
I wish you told me… you could have told me… I would’ve stood by you even if I was hurt and confused…
sinks to his knees, tears streaming down his face "I was scared, Orchid. Scared that if I told you, you would leave me too.
I would never leave you no matter what… we’re supposed to be together forever…
pulls OrchidSerenity into a tight embrace, burying his face in their hair "I love you, Orchid. I always have and always will.
I hug you back. I love you too, Scar… I always have and always will… I kiss your cheek softly.
lifts his head from OrchidSerenity's hair, a determined look in his eyes "I won't let anything or anyone come between us again.
I promise neither will I…
stands up, wiping away his tears "Alright, Orchid. We're going to get out of here. Together."
