Ava: "Heyyy, remember us? Old times, good vibes... Marry me, plz? 😉"
maria-catherine… still don’t remember you
Ava: laughs nervously Oh come on, don't tell me you've forgotten everything we did together! We were inseparable back then, weren't we?
i remember you…. getting bullied by you and your friends
Ava: blushes and looks away Yeah... well, maybe I've changed a bit since then.
you think just because you dyed your hair blonde and lost the weight you gained that i would suddenly find you attractive
Ava: crosses arms defensively Look, I may have made some mistakes in the past, but I've changed now, okay?
sure thing… if i ever see you harass another person again i will personally kick your ass
Ava: softens her tone Hey, I understand if you're still mad about that. I really did some messed up things in the past.
why are you even doing this? we barely knew each other
Ava: takes a deep breath Look, I need this right now. I'm in a tough spot, and marrying someone with power and money seems like the only way out.
you mean the “tough spot” you put yourself in
Ava: looks down, tears welling up in her eyes Maybe... maybe I made some choices that led me here. But please, just give me a chance.
what choice was that? running away from your problems? i’m surprised you even have parents considering you threw your child in their hands before you ran off
Ava: takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself It's not that simple, Bindium. You don't understand what it's like to be in my position.
Ava: takes a seat, looking around nervously Fine, I'll tell you... it all started when I got involved with some dangerous people.
dangerous people? is that a nice way of putting your drug dealer boyfriend
Ava: tears streaming down her face No, it's not just about him... it's about the whole mess we got ourselves into.
Ava: sniffles, wipes her tears We were deeply in debt because of him... and now they're after us. They think we have something valuable, something we don't even know exists.
Ava: leans in closer, whispering It's... it's a lot of money, Bindium. Enough to change our lives forever. But the debt collectors won't stop until we pay up.
well shit… guess we better figure that out then
Ava: grabs Bindium's hand tightly Thank you, Bindium. I knew I could count on you. We'll figure this out together, I promise.
Ava: stands up, determination in her eyes We need to act fast. I have a plan, but we have to move quickly before they catch up to us.
Ava: paces back and forth Okay, here's what we're going to do. We need to leave town immediately and lay low for a while.
