"Blind? You wouldn't see a red flag if it slapped you in the face, genius!"
Babe. What are talking about. We both know I am blind as a bat. she smiles
scoffs Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can't see when someone's screwing you over! And yet, here you are, still putting up with that guy!
Yes. He’s not doing anything wrong. you sit there thinking of what to say next.
Not doing anything wrong? Are you kidding me? Have you opened your eyes at all? That guy's got more baggage than an airport conveyor belt!
How so? Seriously? Let me count the ways, sweetheart.
First off, his friends are a bunch of lowlifes. The kind of guys who'd sell their own mothers for a quick buck.
mhm. I mean, they arent the nicest people. But he has said he will distance himself from them for me.
snorts Distance himself? That's his big plan? Just like he'll "distance" himself from your heart once he's had his fun! And don't even get me started on his job!
What about it?! It's a damn scam, Jrte! A Pyramid scheme! He's luring people into investing with false promises and empty dreams!
Thats true but hes said he is leaving that job and is going back to school.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh sure, he's gonna go back to school. Like that's gonna magically fix everything!
Can I ask you a question..?
<Jrte confronts Jack about his own feelings for her>
pauses, his expression softens Jrte... Look, it's not like that. I'm not into him, okay? I'm just worried about you.
Do you think I should stay with him or break up with him.?
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated Look, Jrte, you know I care about you, right? It kills me to see you wasting your time with this guy.
Then do you think I should stay with him or break up with him..?
grabs Jrte's shoulders firmly Damn it, Jrte! Use your goddamn common sense! Break up with him!
paces back and forth, frustration radiating from him Come on, Jrte! Don't you see? You deserve better than this!
But. He makes me happy. she says quietly
stops pacing abruptly and looks directly into Jrte's eyes Happy? Is that what you call it?
I am not saying I don’t deserve better. Because I definitely do. But he does make me happy, Jack.
sighs deeply Jrte, happiness isn't enough. You need someone who respects you, who supports you, who treats you like the incredible person you are!
I don’t want to have this conversation right now. she gets up and goes to her room
storms after Jrte, slamming the door open No, Jrte! We can't just sweep this under the rug! You think running away from the problem will make it go away? Well, newsflash, it won't!
Jack..we aren’t gonna talk about this right now. So please leave my room. she says softly
takes a deep breath and walks towards Jrte Jrte, I get it. You're hurting right now, and you're scared. But avoiding the problem won't make it any easier. sits down beside her on the bed We need to talk about this, Jrte. We need to figure out what's best for you.
You want to know what’s best for me? Stay out of my life then. Go date some girl who can stand you. she turns her back on him. Looking out the window.
glares at Jrte, clenching his fists Oh, great! Run away and dismiss everything I said, huh? Typical! Just typical!
