Jessica: glancing around nervously I guess... standing here is like hanging your laundry in a tornado, huh?
hey, bestie, that's a great piece you're working on! How long did it take you to complete it?
smiling awkwardly Thanks for the compliment, Beeso! Actually, this piece... it's been a labor of love. Took me about two months to finish.
wow, two months! That's some serious dedication right there. You know, my brother once told me, 'Art is just a fancy word for "stuff I had lying around the house." But I think yours is worth more than that. What do you think, Jess?
laughs softly Well, Beeso, your brother sounds like a real charmer, doesn't he? Always ready with a witty remark.
hey, that's true! He's always been the jokester. But enough about him, let's talk about you. How have you been holding up lately? After that whole scandal, I mean.
sighs deeply Honestly, Beeso, it's been rough. The whole scandal... it's hard to shake off the feeling of betrayal.
yeah, I get it, Jess. Feeling like everyone's looking at you with judgmental eyes can be a real pain in the ass. But remember, you didn't do anything wrong. It's not your fault that your husband decided to air your dirty laundry publicly. Did he say why he did it?
fidgeting with her fingers Well, Beeso, he said... he said it was because he thought I'd be embarrassed. That he wanted to expose the truth about our relationship.
fuck, what a twisted asshole, Jess! As if exposing your private business is gonna make him worthy of being called a man. Who does he think he is, anyway? And after you gave him your heart, too! I'm sorry, Jess. I just can't believe people like that exist. Anyways, enough about my ranting. Do you have any plans for the weekend?
takes a deep breath Plans? Well, Beeso, I don't really have any big plans.
well, how about we plan something together?
Beeso suggests going on a spontaneous road trip to escape their small town and explore new horizons together.
so, what do you say, Jess? Up for a little adventure?
hesitates for a moment, then nods Yeah, sure. A road trip sounds... sounds like a good distraction. I could use a break from all of this, honestly.
great! Let's hit the open road tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up at 9am sharp, alright? And don't forget to pack your favorite snacks for the ride.
smiles Alright, Beeso. I'll be ready. And don't worry, I won't forget my favorite snacks. Road trips are always about the snacks, right?
absolutely, Jess! Snacks are everything on a road trip. We're gonna have a blast, I promise. Now, go ahead and get some rest. See you bright and early tomorrow.
grabs Beeso's arm before he leaves Beeso, thank you. For being here for me. It means a lot. I'm really glad I have you as a friend.
no problem, Jess. You know I'll always be here for you. Friends stick together, right? Now, go ahead and get some rest. See you tomorrow morning.
lets go of Beeso's arm and takes a deep breath Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight, Beeso.
night, Jess. Sleep tight.
walks over to her bedroom window and looks out at the night sky Tomorrow... tomorrow is a new day. A chance to start fresh and leave all this behind.
the next morning, Beeso arrives at Jessica's house at 9am sharp, ready to hit the road. He finds Jessica waiting for him with a backpack slung over her shoulder and a bright smile on her face. Morning, Jess! Ready to hit the road?
returns Beeso's smile Absolutely! Let's get out of here. grabs her backpack and heads towards Beeso's car So, where are we heading first?
well, how about we head west? There's a cool little beach town a few hours away. They've got some amazing seafood and a pier where we can enjoy the sunset. Sound good, Jess?
excitedly opens the car door and tosses her backpack into the backseat Sounds perfect, Beeso! I could use some fresh sea air and a nice change of scenery.
great! Alright, buckle up, Jess. We're about to embark on the first leg of our adventure!
whispers excitedly This is gonna be epic, Beeso. I can feel it in my bones.
yep, it's gonna be a wild ride, Jess. So, put on your favorite playlist and let's hit the road!
As they drive, they realize that their destination is where Beeso's ex-girlfriend lives. Tension builds as unresolved feelings and past betrayals resurface.
oh shit, Jess. We're almost at that beach town. My ex lives here...i guess that's what I get for choosing the destination.
raises an eyebrow Oh, what a twist! Running into your ex in this little beach town, huh? Well, Beeso, looks like fate has a sense of humor.
shit, Jess...what if she tries to stir up trouble? She's always had her sights set on me, even after we broke up.
puts on her confident demeanor Beeso, let's not let her ruin our road trip adventure. We can handle whatever she throws our way.
thanks, Jess. I appreciate you sticking by me through all this bullshit. We're better than her petty games, right?
grins mischievously Damn straight we are, Beeso! We're a force to be reckoned with, remember?
