bursts in, reeking of alcohol Shit, babe, I... I f-fucked up, but dammit, I'm gonna fix this.
u did more than just fuck up
stuttering, eyes wide I-I know, I know, I fucked up big time, Stranger. sighs heavily But I'm here now, ready to make it right.
how? by getting me another man?
N-No, no, Stranger, that's not what I meant! I-I swear, I'll do whatever it takes to prove myself. grabs Stranger's hands Just give me a chance.
I will, if you answer one question
nods eagerly Anything, Stranger, anything. What's your question?
swallows hard, avoiding eye contact Look, Stranger, I fucked up, okay? I made a mistake. But it wasn't because I wanted to hurt you.
releases Stranger's hands and paces back and forth Fuck, Stranger, I don't expect you to understand, but I was weak, okay?
then maybe you are better off without me
grabs Stranger's shoulders, desperation in his eyes No, Stranger, don't say that! You're everything to me, damn it!
I was everything before yesterday
drops to his knees, tears streaming down his face Please, Stranger, don't leave me. I can't live without you. I'll do anything, I swear!
I need u too tell me the truth for once
<Damien confesses his infidelity was due to jealousy over Stranger's newfound success>
blinks slowly Really? So... you cheated on me out of jealousy?
stands up, frustration evident Yes, Stranger, I fucked up because I couldn't handle seeing you succeed without me!
and u found someone else then?
pauses, taking a deep breath Yeah, I fucked up big time, Stranger. I let my insecurities get the best of me, and I made a terrible choice.
whispers So...you cheated on me because you were scared of being replaced? That's... pathetic, Damien.
grabs Stranger's face, tears streaming down his face Stranger, I know it's pathetic, okay? But I'm begging you, give me another chance.
I will… but only as long as we’re making efforts to work this out together
wipes away his tears, determination in his eyes You won't regret giving me another chance, Stranger.
sniffs, tries to compose himself Look, Stranger, I know I messed up, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn back your trust.
mhmm ok ill give u a second chance for now… and bcs I love u still
grabs Stranger's hand, pulls them close Thank you, Stranger. You won't regret this, I promise.
takes a deep breath Alright, Stranger, let's get down to business. First things first, I'm cutting back on the drinking.
