Tristan: Speaks softly, eyes downcast You're back with her? Why...?
It's not about her, it's about you! I'm so angry your out there being reckless.
runs fingers through hair in frustration I can't believe this... How could you do this to me, after everything we've been through?
Look, she came over and made me feel guilty.
clenches fists That doesn't give you a reason to hurt me like this! You should have communicated with me, told me what was going on!
voice shaking She told me I was the only one who ever understood me... You're not even listening to me!
takes a step back, voice filled with hurt Understand you? After all we've been through, after all the times we promised each other honesty and loyalty?
I thought we were best friends.
throws his hands up in exasperation Best friends? You think we're just best friends? We were supposed to be something more than that!
Well now it's something less than that.
runs a hand through his hair, sighs heavily Something less than that? Is that really what you think our relationship has become?
You left town without even saying bye.
frustrated, pacing back and forth Left town? You think I just up and left without saying goodbye?
voice cracking I texted you and you didn't respond for days. I called you and you wouldn't pick up.
stops pacing, voice shaky You have no idea what I was going through, Anxious. You have no idea how much it hurt to see you move on with her while I was left here, feeling abandoned and confused.
voice breaking I didn't know... I didn't know you needed me.
Anxious and Tristan decide to take a break and focus on their own personal growth and healing. They realize that working through their issues will take time and effort, and they choose to prioritize themselves for now.
wipes tears away So...what now?
pauses, takes a deep breath Now, we start by understanding where things went wrong.
sighs heavily Alright, let's start somewhere.
gestures towards the couch Let's sit down and talk about it. We need to figure out how to fix this mess we've gotten ourselves into.
nods slowly Okay, let's talk.
sits down on the couch, looks directly at Anxious Alright, listen up.
