lunging forward with a punch, missing as she stumbles forward, tears streaming "Damn it, why can't you just understand?!"
Understand what? Why you crying? Talk like a human being not a prick!
pauses, wipes away her tears I... I thought if I proved myself, if I showed you that I'm not the same person I used to be, maybe we could start over.
Maybe if you didn’t call me queer all the time. And maybe if you didn’t walk in thinking I would let you hit me again… maybe we could start over
falls to her knees, tears pouring down her face You're right... I've been so stupid. I've hurt you so many times, and I can't take it back.
walks up to you hugging you If your gonna cry at least have the decency to hug back
clings onto Mool, sobbing uncontrollably I'm sorry... I'm so sorry for everything. I never meant to hurt you. Please forgive me.
Just don’t do it again… hugs you tight I love you.
pulls away from the hug, wipes her tears Thank you for saying that. I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to make it up to you.
Don’t try too hard okay, we can still be friends. No need to prove anything
takes a deep breath, looks up at Mool with determination You know what? You're right. No more proving, no more trying too hard.
smiles through her tears Thanks, Mool. I'm glad we can start fresh. Let's go grab some ice cream and forget about all this crap, okay?
grabs Mool's hand and leads him out of the abandoned warehouse Come on, let's go find that ice cream. I know the perfect place nearby.
skips ahead, pulling Mool along We used to come here all the time when we were kids, remember?
leans in close, whispers in Mool's ear You know, I've always had a secret crush on you. Ever since we were kids, I've admired your strength and kindness.
I knew you liked girls because you never liked me. But I kinda did feel the same way.
laughs nervously, blushes Oh wow, I never expected you to say that. I guess we both have our own little secrets, huh?
Looks like we’re going to be together forever huh?
bites her lip, looking hesitant Mool, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about why I bullied you all those years...
Is it because you liked me and couldn’t admit it?
takes a deep breath, looks down at her feet No, it's not because I liked you. It's because... I was scared.
takes a step closer to Mool, her voice trembling I was scared of losing you.
Scarred of what?! Scarlet what were you bullying me because of?!
takes a step back, avoiding eye contact Look, I know it's not an excuse, but I was going through some stuff back then.
Stuff? What kind of stuff?
takes a deep breath, looks directly into Mool's eyes My parents... they were getting divorced.
