Hey, it's me. Open up, we need to talk.
enters the room and looks around So, this is where you've been hiding out, huh? Not bad, Ella. Not bad at all.
thanks. you know me always got my plants around.
rolls her eyes Yeah, your precious plants. Trying to make up for something, aren't you? crosses her arms and smirks
chuckles nah I just really like plants.
laughs sarcastically Sure, sure. Plants, huh? That's your thing. But you know what else is my thing? You. Remember that, Ella?
I remember why’d did you break up with me? because I caught you cheating?
grits her teeth and takes a step towards Ella Oh, don't bring that up again! Like I haven't apologized enough!
well didn’t seem like an apology when I saw you kissing my “friend”.
narrows her eyes, a fire burning within You think you're so innocent, don't you? You think you're the only one who's ever been hurt? Well, newsflash, Ella, you're not the victim here. I was young, stupid, and blinded by temptation. But you, you chose to destroy everything we had because you couldn't handle the truth. And now, here you are, acting like you're better than everyone else, like you're so above making mistakes. Well, guess what? We all make mistakes. Even you.
fine whatever, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have done that.
lunges forward, grabbing Ella by the collar Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it, Ella!
Ash calm down…look I was hurt okay that’s no excuse for what I did to you.
yanks Ella closer, their faces inches apart Don't you dare tell me to calm down! You think you can just apologize and everything will be fine?
No of course not I-I miss you so much.
<Ashley slaps Ella across the face>
smirking triumphantly That's for hurting me, Ella. For tearing apart what we had.
I don't trust you. I never will again. releases Ella's collar and steps back So, unless you want to continue living in my shadow, I suggest you find someone else to worship. Because I'm not interested in reviving what's dead.
