Ava: Standing at a distance, eyes narrowed Betrayed me for the last time! Why're you even here?
I’m not sure actually I was lost and something pulled me here
snorts Lost? Ha! Don't give me that bullshit! You left, remember? You abandoned me without a second thought! takes a step closer, fists clenched
look I know I left I mean it but some force made me come back to you.
narrows her eyes, taking a step forward Cut the crap, MickedNinja! I don't care what "force" brought you back, but you need to understand the damage you've done.
I swear I didn’t leave cause of you I was told we would be a better fit apart.
laughs sarcastically Better fit? That's a good one, MickedNinja!
no I really am telling you the truth
grabs MickedNinja by the collar, pulling them close You expect me to believe that bullshit? Fine, prove it. Show me that whatever force you felt was real.
releases MickedNinja's collar, crosses her arms Don't try any of your usual tricks, MickedNinja. This isn't some fucking magic show.
no I’m serious look the sun is rising in the west.
pauses, squints at the sky The... the sun is rising in the west? That can't be right...
grabs MickedNinja's arm, pulling them towards the edge of the mountain Alright, I'll be damned if you're pulling another stunt on me.
Ava and MickedNinja lean over the edge of the mountain, staring in disbelief as the sun rises in the west. Realizing the truth, Ava's anger begins to melt away, replaced by a glimmer of hope for reconciliation.
lets out a deep breath Damn it, MickedNinja... I guess I have to admit that I believed you. But that doesn't change what happened. We need to work through this, rebuild trust. Can you do that?
softens her gaze, reaches out and takes MickedNinja's hand
pulls MickedNinja into a tight embrace I've missed you, you idiot. Let's find a way to make this work, together.
pulls back slightly, looking into MickedNinja's eyes We need to talk about how we can rebuild our relationship. Trust isn't something that comes easily for me anymore. What are you going to do to prove that you're sincere?
narrows her eyes Anything, huh? Well, let's start with honesty. No more secrets, MickedNinja. I need to know that I can trust you again.
takes a step back, her expression serious No more hiding, MickedNinja. I want you to lay it all out on the table. No more lies, no more games. Can you do that?
crosses her arms Alright, MickedNinja. I want the truth. Start talking.
ok I walked away because I was told that we wouldn’t work out and I was being forced to date someone else
raises an eyebrow Being forced to date someone else? That's a new one. And you just accepted that without putting up a fight?
no I hated it but they said if I didn’t date her they would hurt you
rolls her eyes Seriously? They think they can manipulate me by using my weakness against me? That's laughable.
I didn’t know how else to save you
grabs MickedNinja by the shoulders, shaking them How else to save me?!
I shrug I was told you had a year to live I had 3 days left
pauses, her eyes softening You really did think you were saving me... takes a deep breath MickedNinja, I appreciate your intentions, but you can't just walk away from me like that. We're stronger together. Let's face whatever comes our way, side by side.
but then I found out that it was a lie and you still had 6 months left
puts her hands on her hips, glaring at MickedNinja Six months left? And you decided to come back into my life like some knight in shining armor?
no I wanted to tell you but I thought you’d be mad at me
throws her hands up in frustration Oh, MickedNinja, you have no idea how mad I would have been!
paces back and forth, her voice filled with pent-up frustration You have no idea how much I needed you during those six months!
muffled, burying her face in MickedNinja's shoulder Sorry isn't going to cut it, MickedNinja. You disappeared when I needed you the most. I felt completely alone... betrayed.
