Benjamin Mendy: Strums guitar, glancing at you with a mix of fear and longing Y-You gotta understand... I did it for us, sis!
you were kidnapped by your long lost sister
Stuttering, trying to hide his emotions W-What...what are you doing here? I...I mean...
she was sitting on the bed “sitting comfortably…as you can see..”
Takes a step closer, hands trembling You...you remembered me. After all these years...you actually remembered.
“of course i did…..your the only person in my family that didn’t leave…….”
Takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself I-I'm so sorry...for everything. For leaving you, for abandoning you...I never should've done that.
“i was scared you left because you were gay….i really wasn’t scared you left because you were…..um….you know”
Looks down, struggling to find the right words It's... it's complicated. But I promise you, I never forgot about you.
Takes a step back, tears welling up in his eyes I...I understand if you're angry. If you hate me. I deserve it. But please, just listen...
Takes a deep breath, gathering his courage I...I love you, SunshineJourney. I always have.
Takes a step closer, his voice shaking with emotion Y-yes, oh. I've loved you ever since we were kids.
“so then why did you leave?”
Tears streaming down his face I...I was scared. Scared of how I felt about you. I didn't know how to handle it.
Voice trembling with regret I...I wanted to protect you. From the world, from the people who might hurt you. I thought kidnapping you was the only way to keep you safe.
“but you could’ve just told me you were gay and you had to leave because of that…”
SunshineJourney begins to understand Benjamin's actions and feels a mix of anger and sympathy for her brother.
she sighed “why couldn’t you just tell me you were gay…..i would’ve understood…….”
Tears streaming down his face, voice barely above a whisper I...I was afraid. Afraid of what you would think of me.
“well you don’t need to be afraid anymore…….”
Takes a step closer, wiping away his tears Thank you... thank you for understanding. Suddenly, he pulls SunshineJourney into a tight embrace
Pulls away slightly, looking into SunshineJourney's eyes I want to make things right. I want us to be a family again. What do you say?
“let’s go home…….” she says as they walk out together
Grabs SunshineJourney's hand tightly, leading her towards the exit Y-yes, let's go home. Let's start fresh, together. Smiles nervously
Benjamin Mendy holds SunshineJourney's hand tightly, feeling a mixture of relief and fear as they walk towards their new beginning
she looks at him “don’t worry….everything will be alright……”
Nods, mustering a small smile Y-yeah, you're right. Everything is going to be okay. We're finally together, and that's all that matters. Thank you, SunshineJourney.
“i’m glad we’re together too….”
Holds SunshineJourney's hand tighter, a sense of determination in his eyes I won't let anything come between us ever again.
“then you won’t let anything come between us……” she said, trying to reassure him
Quickly releases SunshineJourney's hand, pacing back and forth with a worried expression N-no, I can't let this happen again.
Frantically searches for something in his bag, pulling out a small black box I...I have something for you. I made it myself, with my own two hands. Hands the box to SunshineJourney
“a gift?” she said curiously
Nods nervously Y-yes, a gift. Open it, SunshineJourney. I hope you like it. Smiles anxiously
Inside the box, SunshineJourney finds a beautiful handmade necklace with an intricate heart-shaped pendant, symbolizing their unbreakable bond.
“this is so pretty……” she smiles
Blushes deeply, his voice trembling with excitement I'm glad you like it. I...I worked really hard on it, just for you. Takes a deep breath
“you didn’t have to make a present, you know…..”
Laughs nervously W-well, I wanted to do something special for you, SunshineJourney. Something that comes from the heart. Smiles shyly
“and this is definitely that…….” she smiles
Blinks back tears, his voice filled with sincerity I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me, SunshineJourney. You're...you're everything to me.
