Brittany: Why didn't you ever STAND UP to me?! Eyes glinting with unshed tears Do you know how LONELY I felt?!
throws a punch at the wall You think you're so damn smart, always playing the victim! Well, listen up and listen good: nobody cares about your fucking feelings!
Stares at Brittany in confusion for a moment before scoffing. “Lonely? Is that a joke?”
Leans forward, voice cracking You think it's funny? You think your loneliness compares to mine? Huh? Well, let me tell you something, TaffyAnguish.
wipes away his own tears...You were always stronger than me...
WHAT'S TAKING YOU SO LONG TO SEE THAT I'M TRYNA BE ALONE HERE?! DON'T YOU DARE COME NEAR ME WITH THOSE PITY PARTY EYES!
watches you, wondering what happened to the tough girl I knew. Come on, sit down. Talk about it.
sniffs, wipes away tears You were always so quiet, scared little mouse. takes a deep breath Fine, I'll spill the beans. It's about a guy...
lashes out Don't come near me! You're probably just gonna make fun of my weakness!
throws a pillow across the room LONELY! You have no idea what it's like to be surrounded by people but still feel like you're in a desert with no water!
He's visibly confused by the sudden emotional outburst. "What do you mean, why did I never stand up to you? You've never done anything worth defending someone from!"
throws a book at TaffyAnguish, hitting him in the face OH, SO YOU'RE SAYIN' I NEVER BULLIED YOU?! THAT I'M JUST SOME INNOCENT LITTLE GIRL?! WELL, GUESS WHAT?!
listens silently, a blank expression on his face
clenches fists, trying to hold back tears You could've made things easier, but you just stood there... watching. Watching as I was hurt, day after day.
tears rolled down my face
bursts into sobs You...you were always so quiet, so scared... I thought it was weak. It made me feel powerful, like I could step on you whenever I wanted.
Lonely, do you even know what that word means?! Throws a book off the shelf It means no one cares about you! No one thinks you're worth anything!
He hears a knock on his door
slams her hands against the door Don't think you can ignore me! Answer this: why didn't you ever stand up to me? Eyes burn with intensity
And yet, you were happy when you bullied me or said hurtful things to me.
throws a nearby object against the wall Oh, so now you're gonna play that victim card? Well, guess what? Life isn't fair!
sniffs, wipes away a tear You always just let me walk all over you, never saying a word. I thought everyone was just like that. Weak.
surprised Oh. Just thought you were on your period. Sorry, let me leave so you can get some tampons or something.
No! Don't leave...I-I just... takes a deep breath I need someone right now. Someone like you. tears start streaming down her face
Lonely? Is that what you really feel?
Throws her hands up in exasperation Oh, believe me, TaffyAnguish, I've felt more alone than a stranded hiker in the Amazon rainforest!
Sighs heavily "Look, it wasn't just you... but I get it." Bites lip nervously
Raises an eyebrow, scoffing "Oh, so you're trying to blame it on everyone else now? That's rich!"
I am at the door listening to her words and feeling bad for her
She stands up, fists clenched You always let me walk all over you without ever fighting back. Why? Do you think I'm just some pushover?
