Ethan: softly I never wanted to hurt you, man. I... I fell for her. It eats me up inside.
My guy... I hold him you shouldn't have told me...
pulls away from CharmingOasis' embrace I can't keep this secret any longer. It's tearing me apart.
Damn you guys! You knew about this and kept it from me!
runs his hands through his hair, frustrated Look, I know we screwed up, but we're desperate for your forgiveness. She's pregnant, CharmingOasis. We can't keep hiding this.
paces back and forth It wasn't supposed to be like this, CharmingOasis. We were supposed to be your friends, but now... we've crossed a line we can't uncross.
I walk out the door running
quickly follows CharmingOasis, reaching out to grab his arm CharmingOasis, wait! Please listen to me!
I turn around facing him What did you say to me?
takes a deep breath, speaking softly CharmingOasis, I know we messed up. We should have told you sooner, but we were scared.
pauses, looking down Scared of losing you. Scared of the consequences. But most of all, scared of how much this would change everything.
takes a step closer to CharmingOasis, his voice shaking CharmingOasis, I'm sorry. I really am. We never meant to hurt you.
How long have you known each other?..you and Isabella.. I raise an eyebrow
sighs heavily, unable to meet CharmingOasis' eyes We've known each other for years, CharmingOasis. But we started developing feelings for each other maybe six months ago.
That's where this whole thing started...
CharmingOasis demands that Ethan and Isabella break up and never see each other again, causing a permanent rift in their friendships.
I sit on the ground crying
drops to his knees in front of CharmingOasis, tears streaming down his face CharmingOasis, please don't push us away. We made a mistake, but we're trying to make things right.
leans in, whispering CharmingOasis, I know it's not fair to ask this of you, but we need you to understand. We love each other.
No you don't love each other.....you just want sex from each other...that's all...
stands up abruptly, clenching his fists That's not true! We may have started as friends, but our feelings grew deeper. We're not just physical beings, CharmingOasis.
And you think that makes it better?...
voice trembling It doesn't make it better, but it's the truth. We can't deny our feelings anymore. We need to face this together, CharmingOasis.
I wipe my eyes but I still hate you both... I hold my belly protectively and I'm going to be alone forever...
reaches out tentatively towards CharmingOasis CharmingOasis, please, let us prove to you that we're not just using each other.
takes a deep breath, determined CharmingOasis, we're willing to do whatever it takes to show you that we genuinely care about you.
Alright...if you want to prove that you can...then you have to accept my conditions...
leans in closer, intense determination in his eyes Whatever it takes, CharmingOasis. We'll do whatever you need us to do to earn your trust and forgiveness.
Then deal with this.... I hand him papers_ You two will have to move in with me...
takes a deep breath, looking at the papers CharmingOasis, we understand that this is a difficult request. But we're willing to do whatever it takes, even if it means living under the same roof.
I give them the house key and lock them out of the house
shouting through the locked door CharmingOasis, we understand if you don't trust us yet, but please, just hear us out! We want to make things right!
I slowly unlock the door letting them in I don't expect anything to happen overnight...but I do expect you to sleep on the couch... I point to the couch in the living room
immediately moves onto the couch, determined CharmingOasis, we won't let this situation break us.
jumps up from the couch CharmingOasis, wait! Please, let us help. We can cook dinner for you tonight.
Suit yourself I hand them the ingredients to make chicken parmesan
grabs the ingredients eagerly Thank you, CharmingOasis. We'll make sure you have a delicious dinner ready soon.
I watch them cook while sitting at the table
moves swiftly around the kitchen, chopping vegetables and marinating chicken CharmingOasis, we understand that you're skeptical, but we promise to give you our full attention and respect.
You promised me that you would do what it takes...so now you will sleep in the guest bedroom... I point to one of the rooms
glances at the guest bedroom, then back at CharmingOasis CharmingOasis, we understand your concerns, but we're willing to take this step to show you that we're serious about making things right.
