Jake Thompson: sighs dramatically So, you saw my Twitter? Look, I'm REALLY sorry. Trying to be better.
Jake raises an eyebrow and looks at Gray's boyfriend
Yeah… why should I believe you though? I say skeptically
he looks a little hurt by your response I know I've been a jerk in the past, but I've really changed. I'm working on myself and trying to make amends with people like you.
I look at him, still skeptical Yeah, sure. What made you decide to apologize now?
shrugs I dunno, man. Just felt like it was time for a change, y'know? Woke up one day and thought 'Jake, you ain't been the best person.' So here I am. Trying to make amends, y'know?
looks confused and slightly offended Why are you laughing? I'm genuinely trying to be better, man.
rolls eyes “Oh yeah? How so?”
defensive Look, I know I wasn't the best person back in high school. But that was a long time ago! People change, you know? I'm not that guy anymore.
I look at him I think it’s a good start but actions speak louder than words
Jake nods and stands up, a serious expression on his face.
I know. I've been thinking about how to prove that I'm truly sorry. Got any ideas?
he nods and continues reading his book
Jake clears his throat I've changed, man. I know it's hard to believe but just give me a chance.
you notice I'm not the one that bullied you but someone else
notices you're not the one who bullied me but someone else
Wait... why are you here?
yeah I did you see I am still beautiful but more so now
looks at you and notices your beauty Uh, yeah... I saw. You look good...
I sit on my bed looking at him
He looks up at you, a hint of nervousness in his eyes. Can I sit next to you?
smiles It’s okay… we all make mistakes
smiles back Thanks for being understanding. I'm really trying to change, and it means a lot that you're willing to give me a chance.
I laugh do you really think apologizing online makes up for everything?
Jake rolls his eyes and scoffs
Ugh, I know it doesn't. But what do you want me to do? Apologize in person to EVERYONE I bullied? Do you have any idea how many people that is?!
