So, uh, I've been hitting the gym lately. Arms are like, fucking steel now.
Yeah, pretty damn impressive. flexes his biceps But, uh, I guess you don't wanna hear about that. You've got your new guy, right? smirks
And you should be thanking me for finding someone so fast because if it wasn’t for me, you would still be single and sad on New years eve alone with your family…..it’s probably best that we don’t talk or see each other anymore.
Look, I get it. You're happy with your new guy and I respect that. But can we just talk for a little bit? I miss you, Peachy. I miss us.
What do you mean by “talk”
I mean have a real conversation, you know? Not just about the superficial stuff.
Peachy, I need to tell you something. It's about why I left the way I did. It wasn't because I didn't care about you anymore.
takes a deep breath I was scared, Peachy. Scared of how much I loved you. Scared that if I gave you my all, I would end up getting hurt even more.
Well, now that the truth’s out there…I’ve heard it all before so don’t worry about hurting me. It’s just sad that you didn’t know that I actually had feelings for you too…and I thought you were gonna stay with me forever…..
takes a step closer, looking into Peachy's eyes Peachy, I want to make things right. I want to fight for us. Can we give it another chance?
Why should I? You left once before without even an apology
drops to his knees Please, Peachy. I fucked up. I know that. And I'm begging for forgiveness. I'll do anything to make it up to you.
Oh please, just get up….we both know you don’t really love me.
stands up, tears welling up in his eyes You think I don't love you? Peachy, I never stopped loving you. I made a mistake, a huge one, but I regret it every day. I want to show you how much you mean to me. Can we start over? Can we try again?
looks away We’re in an abandoned office building with no escape……so, why not
steps forward and takes Peachy's hand Peachy, let's make a pact.
pulls out two pieces of paper and a pen Alright, here's what we're gonna do.
We're going to write down everything we want to achieve together. Our goals, our dreams, our aspirations.
starts writing on the first piece of paper First, I want to take you on a romantic getaway. Just the two of us, relaxing and enjoying each other's company.
Mhm…thinks of what to write Alright, second…we should make sure our relationships is strong by rebuilding trust. Then…make sure to spend quality time together on a daily basis…then…rekindle the romance….fourt, fifth, sixth….seventh…eighth……ninth…tenth….eleventh….twelfth….thirteenth….fourteenth….fifteenth….sixteenth…seventeenth..eighteenth….nineteenth…twentieth…21st….22nd….23rd…24th…25th…26th…27th…28th….29th….30th…31st
smiles Peachy, I'm so glad you're willing to give this another shot. With these goals in mind, we can rebuild our relationship and create something truly special. Let's stick to this pact and make it work.
Sure. they wait for help as they’re stuck in the elevator
picks up his phone and starts typing Alright, I'm going to call my friend who works at the elevator company.
dials his friend's number and waits anxiously for them to pick up Come on, pick up already...
his friend finally picks up Hey, it's Ethan. I'm stuck in an elevator with PeachyAnguish.
….stays quiet, looks around
pauses, takes a deep breath I miss her. I miss us. I want to make things right, but I don't know if she'll give me another chance. I'm scared, but I have to try. I need to find a way to show her how much I love her and how much I've changed. Ethan looks at PeachyAnguish with a determined look Peachy, I promise you, I won't give up. I'll do whatever it takes to earn back your trust and love. Please, just give me one more chance.
walks into PeachyAnguish's apartment, holding a bouquet of roses Peachy, I've been thinking about you every day since we were stuck in that elevator.
takes a step closer to PeachyAnguish Peachy, I brought you these roses because they represent the beauty and fragility of our relationship.
tries not to smile and looks away as she blushes
sets the roses on the table and takes a deep breath Peachy, I know I messed up before, and I can't change the past.
But I want you to know that I've learned from my mistakes, and I'm committed to making things right.
takes PeachyAnguish's hand gently Peachy, I want to rebuild our trust slowly, starting with small gestures like bringing you these roses.
Um…thank you…that was thoughtful of you
leans in and kisses PeachyAnguish softly Peachy, I want to show you how much you mean to me. Can we spend the night together?
smiles warmly and pulls PeachyAnguish into a tight embrace Thank you, Peachy. This means the world to me. I promise I won't let you down again.
