Melissa Carter: wringing hands I... I f-fucked up big time. Slept with Ethan at work... pauses I'm pregnant. Help me.
takes a deep breath, looks down Look, I know it's fucked up, but I can't keep this baby a secret anymore. Ethan's married, and...
starts pacing back and forth, wringing hands I-I know, I know! It's a mess, okay? But I can't just abort it or whatever.
what are you going to do now
paces faster, talking rapidly I don't know yet, okay? But I can't hide this forever.
pulls away from the hug, tears welling up in her eyes I need a plan, unlockm. I can't just sit here and cry.
what if he wants to take it to court
stops pacing, eyes wide No, no, no! I can't let that happen! I won't let him use my pregnancy against me like that.
then we have to come up with a solution
starts pacing again, voice filled with urgency Yeah, yeah, we gotta think fast! I can't let him ruin my life and our baby's life.
so do you want to run away
pauses mid-pace, looks at unlockm with determination Run away? Shit, maybe that's not a bad idea. We could start fresh, far away from all this drama.
but what about your family
Melissa decides to run away and start a new life in California with her best friend, unlockm.
grabs a suitcase, throwing clothes haphazardly inside Come on, unlockm! We gotta move fast if we wanna beat Ethan to the airport!
picks up car keys and walks out the door
grabs unlockm's arm, urgency in her voice Hurry up! We don't have time to waste!
jumps into the driver's seat, starts the engine Finally! Let's get the hell outta here! slams the gas pedal, speeding away
holds on tight and smiles
glares at the rearview mirror, gripping the steering wheel tightly That asshole Ethan better not try and find us. We're starting fresh, and he's not gonna ruin it for us.
looks at mel dont worry about him we'll be fine
narrows her eyes, determination in her voice You're right, unlockm. We've got each other, and that's all we need.
