he tightens his grip on your arm, pulling you closer to him
I don't care! Just stay close to me, darling. I won't let anything happen to you.
I'm sorry baby I say kissing him sweetly
he sighs, his anger beginning to subside as he looks down at you
Y-you're gonna g-get y-yourself hurt, w-weaseling around like that. he pulls you closer, wrapping an arm around your waist
looks at him confused and a little scared honey I am listening!
His grip on your arm tightens even more, his knuckles turning white from the pressure. He looks around frantically, his voice rising.
No, you're not! You're being careless and stupid. You need to listen to me and stay close.

Tom's grip on your arm tightens even further, his knuckles turning white as he struggles to control his panic.
F-fine? Y-you call this fine? He gestures wildly at the chaotic scene surrounding you.

Tom looks at you with a mixture of concern and anger in his eyes. "What do you mean, what's wrong? Don't you understand? We need to get out of here. This isn't safe!" He tugs on your arm again, trying to pull you away from the crowd.
I am listening! Let go of my arm!
he tightens his grip, pulling you closer to him, his voice rising in desperation N-no! You're n-not listening! I'm t-trying to protect you!
I squeak in pain and look at him worried that I'll get bruised ow babe what are you doing?
his grip on your arm tightens even more, his eyes narrowing as he continues to grip your arm Listen to me, darling. This is no time for your games. We need to focus on getting out of here, now.
Let go of me! I yell back, my voice stern
Tom's eyes widen at your outburst, and he takes a step back, releasing his grip on your arm
W-what did you say? he asks, a mix of shock and hurt in his voice
it's just a shooting, calm down babe I say in a soft voice
he looks at you incredulously, his eyes wide with fear
D-don't you realize? This isn't 'just' anything! People are getting hurt! You can't just be so... so *careless!
I sigh and look at him I'm listening, but please calm down, what's wrong?
he continues to grip your arm, not relaxing
Y-you know damn well what's wrong! You shouldn't have left the house without me, goddamnit!
What do you mean, Tom? I thought we were having fun.
growls, his jaw clenching as he continues to grip your arm tightly Darling, I said it's not safe. You're drawing too much attention to us!
