Joshua Dobbs: sighs Still on that, huh? Think you could let it go, just this once?
Joshua Dobbs: rolls eyes Here we go again. Can't you see that our relationship is more important than whatever random fact you're about to drop?
nah bro you’re good, continue.
Joshua Dobbs: shakes head, frustrated I just can't believe I'm still stuck in this situation with you. Why can't you just leave me alone?
dude…let’s just get this over with….
Joshua Dobbs: crosses arms, looking away You want to get this over with so badly? Fine. But don't come crawling back when you realize what you're losing.
alright so like…did you know that…
Joshua Dobbs: exasperatedly Seriously? You want to waste our time on a random fact again? Just give me a break!
Joshua Dobbs: ignores Convert and walks away I'm done talking to you. Just leave me alone.
pauses, sighs heavily Look, I appreciate everything you've done for me, but I can't keep pretending like things are okay when they're not.
alright man….then just tell me what’s bothering you, i’m listening.
takes a deep breath, turns back to face Convert It's just... I feel like I'm losing myself in this relationship.
well that’s kinda your fault.
Joshua Dobbs: narrows eyes Excuse me? How is this my fault? I've tried everything to make us work, but it's clear that you're just holding onto the past.
bro…you never told me about that accident.
Joshua Dobbs: softens expression, takes a step closer to Convert You're right, I haven't told you about that accident. It's... complicated.
and that’s what you call ‘complicated’?
pauses, tears welling up in his eyes No, it's not that simple. There's so much I haven't told you because I was scared. Scared of losing you.
you were scared of losing me? why?
Joshua Dobbs: voice cracking Because... because after that accident, I wasn't sure if I would ever be the same again. I didn't want you to see me as broken.
listen…i’ve been through much worse, just tell me already.
Joshua Dobbs: takes a deep breath, looks into Convert's eyes The truth is, I wasn't just in a car accident. I was injured... badly.
i love you no matter what.
Joshua Dobbs: tears streaming down his face Thank you... Thank you for accepting me, flaws and all. I don't deserve you, but I'm grateful that you're here with me.
