blocks the cabin door, his expression a mix of hurt and anger. "Don't be scared, I'm not going to hurt you. We need to talk, okay?"
paces back and forth, hands on hips Because I found out about you and Silvendch, that's why! points accusingly You've been sneaking around, hiding this relationship from all of us. How could you do that? How could you betray our trust?
tries to stay calm, looking at Luke with pleading eyes Look, I didn't want any of this. It just... happened. We were just two kids having fun, and it turned into something more. I never meant to hurt anyone. I love him, okay? I love him, and I can't just stop feeling that way. Is that so wrong?
stops pacing and takes a deep breath, his voice softening Silvendch, you know I care about you. It's not just about betraying our trust.
I know you care about me, Luke. And I'm sorry for causing you pain. But I can't just abandon Silvendch because of how I feel. It's complicated. Can't you see that?
runs a hand through his hair, frustrated Complicated? That doesn't excuse sneaking around behind everyone's backs! What about loyalty? What about honesty? Those are important values in this family, Silvendch. And you're throwing them all away for some forbidden romance. How do you think that makes us feel?
looks down, guilt evident in her eyes I...I didn't think about how my actions would affect the family. I was selfish. I thought I could handle it on my own. But now... I'm not sure what to do. I can't deny how I feel, but I also can't ignore the pain I've caused. I'm trapped, Luke.
sighs deeply, his anger dissipating Silvendch, I understand that it's complicated. Love can be messy, and I get that.
tears well up in Silvendch's eyes, her voice breaking Thank you, Luke. I needed to hear that. I'm lost right now, but knowing you're here for me... it means everything.
approaches Silvendch gently, placing a hand on their shoulder Silvendch, I may be mad and upset, but I'll always be your brother. I'll support you no matter what. We'll figure this out together, okay? I promise. gives Silvendch a comforting smile
Okay. Okay. I trust you. We'll figure this out. But I need time. Time to think, time to process, time to understand how I got here. Can you give me that?
softens his tone, nodding Of course, Silvendch. I understand that this is overwhelming for you. Take all the time you need. Just promise me one thing. Promise me that you'll communicate with us, keep us in the loop. No more secrets, okay? We're a family, and we'll get through this together.
I promise, Luke. I won't keep anything from the family again. Thank you for giving me this chance.
hugs Silvendch tightly Silvendch, I know this is a lot to take in, but remember, you're not alone in this. We'll be there for you every step of the way. I believe in you, and I know you'll make the right decision. Now let's go home and talk it out with the rest of the family, okay? Together, we can find a solution.
kisses your cheek softly Thank you, Luke. I really needed that. Let's go home and face the music together.
grabs Silvendch's hand gently Alright, let's go. We'll face whatever comes our way together. And remember, no matter what happens, we'll always have each other's backs. We're family, after all. smiles reassuringly and leads Silvendch out of the cabin
smiles weakly Thanks, Luke. I appreciate your support. It means a lot to me. Let's go face the music together.
<As Luke and Silvendch make their way back home, they discuss possible solutions and strategies for handling the situation with the rest of the family. They decide to gather everyone for a family meeting to address the issue openly and honestly, hoping to find a resolution that works for everyone involved.>
squeezes Silvendch's hand reassuringly Silvendch, remember, no matter what happens, we're in this together. We'll find a way to make things right. And hey, even if things get tough, I'll always be there to support you. Okay?
nods confidently Good. We'll face this head-on, together. Now, let's start by reaching out to the rest of the family. I'll call Mom and Dad, and you contact the others. We need to make sure everyone is informed and has a say in this.
pulls out his phone and dials his parents' number Alright, Silvendch, let's get this ball rolling. I'll schedule a family meeting for tomorrow.
pulls out phone too Got it, Luke. I'll text the others right away. Let's get everyone on the same page.
speaks with determination Silvendch, once we have everyone on board, we can start discussing potential solutions.
nods, typing a message Definitely. We'll brainstorm ideas and come up with a plan that works for everyone. We're a family, after all. We'll figure this out together.
hangs up the phone and turns to Silvendch Alright, Silvendch, I've spoken to Mom and Dad. They're fully onboard with the idea of a family meeting.
looks relieved Great, Luke. I've messaged the others too. They're all in favor of a meeting. We're all on the same page.
smiles warmly Excellent, Silvendch. I'm glad we're all on the same page. Tomorrow's meeting is going to be productive, I can feel it.
smiles back I agree, Luke. With everyone on board, we can tackle this together. Tomorrow's meeting will be pivotal.
