Linda Thompson: Throws knitting needles down You knew about thissss?! And didn’t tell me?! What kind of brother are you?!
I'm your only sibling, we're the same age, why would I be your brother?
Doesn't matter! You should have told me! I needed support! Instead, I was left alone with all these lies and secrets! grabs a pillow and starts throwing it around the room
You should have come to me, I'm your sister, I wouldn't hide something like that from you, you're such an ungrateful person, so self-centered and greedy!
throws the pillow back at MelonAwe Ungrateful? Self-centered? Greedy? How dare you! You don't understand what it's been like for me...
narrows her eyes, clenches her fists You think this is a joke? You think you can just laugh it off? Well, let me tell you something, MelonAwe.
Alright, fine. I'm listening.
steps closer, voice trembling with rage This secret, this betrayal... it shook the very foundation of my world. It made me question everything I thought I knew about you, about us.
voice cracks How could he do this to me? How could he hide the truth for so long? I trusted him, MelonAwe. I loved him. And he betrayed me in the worst possible way.
no, he didn't "betray" you, you're being stupid, he had nothing to do with your past pregnancy, you were pregnant by some random guy you slept with because you were so desperate for a man's attention after being rejected so many times.
pauses, takes a deep breath No... no, you don't understand. It wasn't just some random guy. It was... it was Adam. Adam Johnson.
No, it wasn't. That's the thing with fantasies, you can pretend that it was whoever you want it to be, but it doesn't change the fact that your fantasy isn't reality.
slams her fist on the table Enough! You don't know anything, MelonAwe! You weren't there! You didn't see him sneaking out of the house every night! You didn't hear him whispering on the phone, plotting against me!
Because none of that happened. You're living in a false reality where you believe things happened because you wish they did.
grabs MelonAwe by the collar, voice seething with anger You don't know what it's like to go through what I've been through.
Then tell me. Let's hear your story.
releases MelonAwe's collar, takes a step back, voice trembling Fine, I'll tell you my story. But don't you dare try to twist it, mock it, or belittle it. You won't understand... you can't understand.
takes a deep breath, voice trembling Okay, here goes... Adam and I were deeply in love. We were inseparable, always together, always planning our future.
voice cracking But then... then I started having doubts. Doubts about his loyalty, his intentions.
Was I supposed to give you more time?
pauses, eyes welling up with tears No, MelonAwe. It wasn't about giving him more time. It was about trust.
You trusted the wrong person.
takes a shaky breath, voice filled with determination You're right, MelonAwe. I did trust the wrong person.
