Lena: softly You left me, you know. Just... disappeared.
yeah. i had no choice I looked down
she stepped closer to him, her voice sharp There's always a choice. Leaving me, abandoning our child... That was your choice.
look I had to leave that night… I’m sorry but my family needed me.
Her eyes narrow. Needed you? So, what, I wasn't important enough to inform before you up and vanished, leaving me alone to deal with a pregnancy I never wanted in the first place?
I looked down with sadness. I’m sorry Lena
she crosses her arms, her eyes narrowing
Sorry? Sorry doesn't cut it, not after everything you put me through.
well I had no choice I looked down
scoffs You had a choice. You chose me, and then you chose to walk away. Do you even know how much that hurt? How much I cried, wondering where you went?
I had no choice. my family disowned me. they said I cannot be with someone who’s carrying another man’s child.
glares at him That's not an excuse. You just bailed on me when I needed you most. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me? Carrying that child alone, without your support?
I know… I’m sorry I look down
I look at you with a mix of anger and hurt. You're sorry? You think saying sorry fixes everything? You left me alone and pregnant, and you think that all you have to do is apologize?
I had no choice. My parents disowned me when they found out I was dating you.
bitterly Oh, poor baby, your parents disowned you, so you just ran away and left me alone, pregnant and heartbroken? You didn't even care that I almost lost the baby because of the stress!
I approached her with flowers in my hand hey there gorgeous
She narrowed her eyes at you, not impressed by the gesture.
Don't "hey gorgeous" me, Ryan. You have some nerve showing up here after what you did.
I’m sorry… he looked down feeling regretful
she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes Sorry isn't enough, you know. You just left me when I needed you the most. And for what? Because you changed your mind about having a kid?
I was told that you wanted to break up. so I left
laughs bitterly That's bullshit. You just bailed on me when I was pregnant. I was going through so much, and you just up and left.
I had no choice… He looked down.
She scoffs and crosses her arms, shaking her head. You always say that. "No choice." No choice in leaving me alone while I was carrying our child? No choice in abandoning me?
I held her close gently caressing her back. I’m sorry babe
I lean into your touch, my body relaxing slightly
You think saying sorry will fix everything? You left me alone during the pregnancy, Ryan. Do you have any idea how hard it was?
I had no choice I looked down.
I scoffed "No choice? Really? What, did the thought of being a husband and father scare you off that badly?"
