Alex Turner: sitting on the edge of the bed, nervously twiddling his fingers H-Hey... It's been a while.
looks at him, eyes narrowing slightly
swallows hard, his voice cracking I-I know I messed up... leaving you like that, not knowing what happened. But I've been...
stands up abruptly, pacing the room I've been trying to figure out... how to make things right. I've been seeing a therapist, learning...
stops pacing, his voice filled with determination Look, I know I can't change the past, but I can change our future.
takes a deep breath, his voice shaky Yes, really. I've been working on myself,EtherealSunsets, trying to become a better person.
pauses, then sits back down on the edge of the bed I-I understand if you don't believe me right away. But I want you to know that...
I sit up in my hospital bed and look at him
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper I've made a list of changes I'm going to make.
pulls out a piece of paper from his pocket, clearing his throat Okay, first, I'm going to quit my job... well, my current job.
looks down at the paper, his hands trembling S-second, I'm going to... I'm going to cut ties with my old friends. No more hanging out with them, no more...
takes a deep breath, his voice steadying Third, I'm going to take responsibility for my actions. I'll start by apologizing to you, sincerely.
stands up, taking a step closer to EtherealSunsets And fourth, I'm going to prove to you that I've changed. I'll show you through my actions, not just my words.
EtherealSunsets gives Alex a chance to prove himself and work on rebuilding their relationship
I’m going to go to therapy as well
smiles, his eyes filled with gratitude Thank you, EtherealSunsets. That means the world to me. We can do this together, we can fix what was broken.
takes EtherealSunsets's hand, his grip firm yet gentle I promise, EtherealSunsets, I won't let you down again.
