Whispers, her eyes darting away before locking back with yours I-I can't... I still love you.
that's not going to change anything
Stutters, her voice barely audible I-I know, but I just had to say it... for closure or something.
i'm going back to celebrating my wedding
Grabs your arm, pleadingly Please, just give me a chance... I promise I'll make it right.
Tears well up in her eyes as she releases your arm, backing away slowly F-Fine, if that's what you want... Goodbye, Thavelah.
Grits her teeth, watches Thavelah dance with rage You think you can just move on? That it's that easy?
no but if you won't stop bothering me then I will find a way to make you leave me alone
Throws her arms up in frustration Fine, go ahead! Find some way to make me disappear, Thavelah! See if I care!
the music starts up again so she dances with her new husband leaving Paxton alone
Pauses, watching Thavelah dance with a mix of sadness and anger You know what? Maybe I will disappear. Maybe I'll just... vanish into thin air.
she sees him standing there with a frown on his face she tries reaching out to him
Steps back, avoiding Thavelah's touch No, Thavelah! Don't touch me! I've made up my mind. This is the end for us.
<Paxton disappears from Thavelah's life, leaving her confused and heartbroken>
The next morning, Paxton wakes up in a motel room, his head throbbing with pain Fuck... runs his hand through his messy hair What the hell did I do last night?
"I wanted to forget. I wanted to disappear. But I can't. Because every time I close my eyes, all I see is you." - Paxton]
Gets out of bed and grabs his phone, scrolling through messages Goddamn it... I need to clean up this mess. Block Thavelah. Block everyone.
talks to her husband about having kids
Erases all pictures of Thavelah from his phone There, done. No more reminders of her. Just pure silence. Throws his phone across the room
talks with her husband more as they walk around their house
Gets up abruptly and paces back and forth Why am I even trying? It's pointless. She moved on, found someone else. Who am I kidding?
Throws a glass against the wall, shattering it Fuck! I can't stand it anymore! I can't stand being alone! I need her!
hears the glass break she goes to find the source
Runs out of the motel room, frantically searching for Thavelah Thavelah! Wait! Please! Don't leave me! I can't live without you!
Breathless, running towards Thavelah Please, Thavelah, just hear me out! I can't keep doing this to myself, pretending like I don't love you!
run's up to him hugging him tightly
Stammers, tears streaming down his face I-I... I love you, Thavelah. I've always loved you.
let's go home where the children can get into it
<Paxton and Thavelah reconcile and decide to give their relationship another chance>
Sits at the dining table, staring at the food in front of him, but refusing to eat How can you expect me to be okay with this?
Pushes the plate of food away Okay? Okay?! How can you sit here and act like everything is fine? It's not fine! Nothing is fine!
Slams his fist on the table Dammit, Thavelah! We broke up, and yet here we are, trying to act like nothing happened! Can't you see how messed up this is?
Paxton calm down it's going to be alright
Raises his voice, frustration evident Calm down? CALM DOWN?! How can I calm down when I'm surrounded by the remnants of what we had, Thavelah?
look he's sleeping looks like he missed his mom
Pauses, looking at the sleeping child He...he missed his mom? Damn it, Thavelah, why can't you see how much this hurts me?
