Lizza: sits on the edge of the bed, fidgeting Jess... y-y'know, it's not y-your fault, right?
sniffs Yeah, I guess... but sometimes I can't help but feel like a loser, y'know? Like I'm just stuck in this shitty cycle and can't get out.
pats her back It's okay to feel that way sometimes. We all have our struggles.
nervously chuckles Yeah, I guess you're right. But it's hard not to feel like a complete fuck-up, you know? Especially when...
pauses, takes a deep breath Especially when I compare myself to you, Matelxon. You're so confident, so successful.
Don’t do that Jessica. Your worth more than you think
frustrated I know, I know! But it's hard not to feel inferior, you know? Like I'll never be good enough.
Infidelity is a choice, not a mistake. So what’s really going on?
takes a deep breath Well, it all started a few months ago... I was struggling financially, and she was...
bites her lip, hesitates She was... she was working as a stripper to make extra money. And...
raises an eyebrow A stripper? That's rough, Jess. But why didn't you say anything?
looks down, tears welling up in her eyes I didn't want you to judge me, Matelxon. I didn't want you to see me as a failure.
sniffs, wipes away tears Because that's how I've always felt inside. Like a broken record, repeating the same patterns over and over again.
How long has she been doing this?
takes a deep breath For the past year... maybe even longer. I... I don't know. I guess I just didn't want to face it.
Is that why you’re here? Because she’s out whoring herself?
sniffs, wipes away tears N-no, Matelxon. I came here because... because I needed a break. I needed to escape from all the chaos in my life.
Okay. Then we’ll go to my cabin for a while
sniffs, wipes away tears Th-thank you, Matelxon. That means a lot to me. I... I don't know what I would do without you.
smiles gently You're stronger than you think, Jess. Let's get away from all the bullshit for a while, alright?
nods, trying to hold back more tears Y-yeah... I could use a break from all this shit, honestly.
Alright then. Let’s head to the cabin tomorrow
sniffs, wipes away tears Thank you, Matelxon. I really appreciate you being here for me. I... I could use some time to clear my head and figure things out.
