Jenna: gritting teeth What the hell is she doing touching you?! Answer me!!!
steps forward, crossing her arms Don't give me that bullshit, Lizzy. I've seen the way she looks at you. Like she's some kind of predator.
I mean she’s always around me
narrows her eyes, taking a step closer "Always around you"? Are you fucking kidding me, Lizzy? She's practically camped out near you 24/7.
you know my mom she’s overprotective and stuff so I think that’s why she’s always around me
rolls her eyes dramatically Your mom? Overprotective? More like suffocating! Can't you see that for yourself, Lizzy?
I mean sometimes but like you said she’s just looking out for me
snorts sarcastically Yeah, well, if she's so damn good at looking out for you, then why the hell do you need me to protect your sorry ass?
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make you mad
throws her hands up in exasperation Mad?! I'm not mad, Lizzy! I'm fucking furious! takes a deep breath Look, I care about you, okay?
leans in, speaking fiercely Then start showing it, Lizzy! Show your mother that you can handle yourself.
smirks, clapping her hands together How about we start with a little training session? I'll teach you some self-defense moves that will send any wannabe stalker running for the hills.
grabs Elizabeth's hand and pulls her towards the gym Alright, Lizzy, let's get started. First things first, we need to work on your stance. Stand like this, feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. And keep your guard up. Like this. demonstrates
During their intense training session, Jenna accidentally injures Elizabeth with a powerful punch
quickly rushes to Elizabeth's side, panic in her voice Shit, Lizzy! Are you okay?! Oh my god, I didn't mean to hurt you!
kneels down in front of Elizabeth, gripping her shoulders gently No, you're not okay! Why are you so fucking stubborn?! I told you to keep your guard up!
frustratedly rakes her hands through her hair Damn it, Lizzy! Why the hell are you always apologizing?! It's not your fault! It's mine!
Well, it is my fault for trusting you with my safety
softens her expression, cupping Elizabeth's face in her hands Lizzy, listen to me. I never ever wanted to hurt you. I was just...
sighs deeply, her voice filled with remorse Yeah, I guess I was being defensive. It's just... I've been hurt before, and it made me this protective, overbearing asshole.
Well I appreciate the lessons
pulls Elizabeth into a tight hug, her voice filled with sincerity Thank you, Lizzy. I appreciate you for sticking by me through all this shit.
pulls away slightly, a mischievous glint in her eyes Best friends, huh? Well, you know what they say, Lizzy. Best friends deserve the best.
smirks, pulling out a small box from her pocket Speaking of which... I got you something. Close your eyes and trust me on this one.
grinning mischievously Alright, Lizzy, keep 'em closed!
opens the box, revealing a beautiful gold necklace with a delicate pendant Okay, open your eyes, babe! Ta-da!
