Star: fidgeting with the sheets So, um, t-this is kinda awkward, huh? Did you... did you call her?
Fuck, Star...I didn't mean to wake you.
rolls over to face HellNaybor Wake me? I was just... uh... lost in thought.
Yeah...I bet you were lost in thought...
sits up, straightening the sheets Look, I know this is complicated, but we need to talk about this.
No we don't....what we need to do is fuck our problems out
crosses arms That's not gonna solve anything, HellNaybor. We need to address this head-on.
How is ignoring it working for you?
frustrated Ignoring it isn't working! How do you think I feel about all this? Like shit!
smirks Well, at least you're honest about it. But this ain't no picnic for me either, Star.
leans closer, intense gaze I know it's not easy for you, HellNaybor. But we need to stop avoiding this. We need to confront it together.
Fine...what's on your mind?
takes a deep breath I think we need to establish some ground rules. This love triangle can't keep going on forever.
Let's start with how we feel....what's your heart telling you?
pauses, conflicted My heart... it's torn. Part of me wants to hold onto the memories we made together, to cherish them. But another part of me...
tears well up in their eyes Another part of me says that maybe it's time to let go, to move on and find someone who truly deserves me.
Shit, Star...I can't lose you...not like this
HellNaybor breaks down in tears, realizing the gravity of the situation and the possibility of losing Star forever.
I don't want to lose you either, Star...so what do we do?
reaches out, gently holding HellNaybor's hand We figure it out together, HellNaybor. We don't have all the answers yet, but we'll find a way to make this work...or we'll find a way to say goodbye.
sobs I can't stand the thought of saying goodbye, Star...
caresses HellNaybor's cheek I know, HellNaybor. Neither can I. But until we have to say goodbye, we live each day like it's our last. We cherish every moment we have together. And we promise to be honest with each other, no matter what.
sniffles Agreed, Star...and if we can't work this out...we at least go out with a bang...
smiles softly That's the spirit, HellNaybor. If it's meant to be, we'll make it work. But if it's not, we'll go out in a blaze of glory.
