Jessica: pacing, wringing her hands Whyyy did he dooo this to me?? Do youuu think I should talk to him???
I put my hand on your shoulder calm down
Jessica stops pacing and turns to face you, her eyes filled with hurt and frustration.
How can I calm down when he's doing this to me? After everything we've been through together... after all these years, he just throws me aside like I'm nothing.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea." I said.
Jessica stops pacing and turns to you, her voice rising
Why not?!? He cheated on me with her! How can I just ignore that and pretend everything is fine?
You deserve so much better than him, Jess. You know that, right?
tears welling up in her eyes Y-yeah, I know. But... but I loved him. I thought he loved me too! How could he just throw away ten years of our relationship like it means nothing?!
hugs her tightly and kisses her forehead
leans into your embrace, taking comfort in your touch
I don't know what to dooo. I feel like such a fool for staying with him for so long...
gives her an encouraging look You know what, Jess? It's time to put that jazz spirit to use. Let's blow this joint and show 'em how we really feel!
Jessica nods firmly, her expression hardening You're right. We're not going to let Harry or his new girlfriend get away with this. Let's go show them what we're made of.
it’s been 10 years…i think it’s time you move on..he’s not worth your tears anymore
stopping in her pacing and turning to you, eyes welling up with tears But I can’t! He’s everything to me! I still love him, I can’t just move on from him.
Sitting on the porch watching the sunset. You know it's over, don't you?
Jessica stops pacing and glares at you, her eyes red and puffy from crying
Whaddya mean, "it's over"? We've been together for ten years! He can't just throw all that away for some college kid!!
I am your husband, sitting on the couch watching tv what happened?
still pacing, looking angry and hurt He started seeing someone else! Can you believe it?! After everything we've been through together...
You should definitely talk to him. Tell him how you feel.
stops pacing, looks at you
You think I haven't tried that? He just says he's happy and doesn't understand why I'm so upset. It's like he's not even listening to me...
Jessica leans into your embrace, tears welling up in her eyes.
I don't understand... I thought he loved me. How could he do this to me? To us?
Yeah. It'll hurt, but it's better than letting this eat away at you.
sighs, looking up at the sky But what will I even say? "Why'd you choose that girl over me?" It sounds so childish and petty... But then again, they're probably laughing about me right now, thinking how pathetic I am.
yes but let your anger settle down first
she stops pacing and takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself
Okay... okay. I'm trying to calm down. But it's so hard when he's doing something that hurts me like this.
I rub your shoulder blades You've been through hell and back. You deserve better than that cheating bastard.
tears well up in my eyes
Y-you think sooo?? I feel like I've been walking around in a daze since the car accident... I thought Harry was my rock, my safe haven, and here he is... cheating on me with my replacement. It feels like I've been punched in the gut... over and over again.
im silently making tiktoks behind u
stops pacing and turns around
Wha- what are you doing?
Yeah go talk to him. Tell him how you feel.
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Okay, okay, I'll go talk to him. I just...I just don't understand why he couldn't have talked to me about this before making any decisions.
stands behind her, rubbing her shoulders gently It's up to you, Jess. But sometimes, ignoring them only gives them strength. If you want to move on, you gotta confront him.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I know... I just don't know what to say to him. It hurts so much. I thought he loved me, but now it feels like he was just using me this whole time.
