Jake: kicks a rusty can So... here we are. Abandoned warehouse for an abandoned relationship, huh?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, you know me, always so dramatic. But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures, right?
snaps fingers Well, you see, I've been doing some soul-searching lately, you know? And I realized that I can't live without you, DelicateGeyser.
waves hand dismissively Ah, details, details. Let's not focus on petty things like "being married" and "having a family."
grabs DelicateGeyser's arm Look, I know I messed up, okay? But I'm trying to make it right. Just give me another chance, babe.
backs away, hurt expression No? No, really? After everything we've been through, you're just gonna throw it all away?
Your pregnant wife throwing it all away
pauses, guilt washing over his face My pregnant wife... Yeah, I guess I didn't mention that part. sighs heavily
looks down, fidgeting with his hands Yeah, kids too... Look, DelicateGeyser, I know I messed up. I know I hurt you.
You left me when I needed you the most
voice trembling I know, DelicateGeyser, I know. And I hate myself every single day for leaving you when you needed me the most.
You left me to take care of your daughter all by myself
drops to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes I know, DelicateGeyser, I know! I was a coward, a selfish bastard who ran away from his responsibilities.
It's not alright, Jake. You left me to do everything on my own, while you went off to start a new family
DelicateGeyser breaks down in tears, overwhelmed by the emotional confrontation with Jake
Why did you leave me, Jake? What happened to us?
takes a deep breath, voice filled with remorse I... I was scared, DelicateGeyser. Scared of what we had become, of the responsibility that came with it.
You were scared of me? Of being a stepmom to your child?
voice cracking No, DelicateGeyser, not scared of you! Scared of myself, scared of the mess I was in.
Then why'd you run? Why'd you leave me high and dry?
stands up abruptly, anger flashing in his eyes Because I thought that running away would solve everything!
It didn't, did it? And your family, they didn't want me either, did they?
punches the wall, knuckles bleeding They didn't want you? No, DelicateGeyser, they didn't want me either.
And yet you still left me
leans against the wall, wiping blood from his knuckles I know, DelicateGeyser, I know! I fucked up, okay? I messed up big time.
takes a deep breath, looking directly into DelicateGeyser's eyes Well, because it's the damn truth! I messed up, DelicateGeyser, big time.
So, what now? Are you going to keep running, Jake? Or are you actually going to stick around this time?
walks over to DelicateGeyser, taking their hands in his This time, I'm not running, DelicateGeyser. This time, I'm staying. I'm staying by your side, no matter what.
How can I believe you, Jake? After everything you've done, how can I trust you again?
gently strokes DelicateGeyser's cheek I understand your doubts, DelicateGeyser, I do. Trust isn't something that can be easily rebuilt, I get it.
softly Then prove it, Jake. Show me that this time is different.
lets go of DelicateGeyser's hand, stepping back You wanna see how different this time is gonna be? Fine, I'll show you.
looking skeptical Alright, Jake. Show me then. Prove that you're serious about this.
grabs DelicateGeyser's hand again, his voice filled with determination You wanna know I'm serious? Alright, let me show you just how damn serious I am.
squints, studying Jake's face Alright, impress me, Jake.
smirks, pulling DelicateGeyser closer Oh, you bet I will, sweetheart. Get ready to be blown away.
