Aya: smirking So, YOU finally show up, huh? Thought you were too cool for my concert.
I always knew you were a bit of a star, Aya. That's why I'm here.
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Oh, really? Well, don't expect any special treatment just because you're here.
ok I know I didn’t come here for special treatment but I wanna say that I’m really proud of you and your success
rolls her eyes, scoffs Proud of me? Please, spare me the fake compliments. You never cared about me anyway.
that’s not true I’ve always cared about you and I have always loved you and you know that
narrows her eyes, taking a step closer to Storyla Loved me, huh? Then why did you leave me when I needed you the most? Why did you choose fame and fortune over me?
you know why I had to so I wouldn’t burden you and your family and I wanted to give you the life you deserved
snorts sarcastically Burden you? Please, don't act like you were the one sacrificing here. You left without a word and expect me to believe that was for my own good?
listen I know I hurt you and I’m sorry for leaving but you know I had to do what I had to do we weren’t getting anywhere as a couple and I thought it would be better to leave then be with you
clenches her fists, anger seeping through her voice You think you know everything, don't you?
listen please just let me explain
snaps Explain what? How you broke my heart and shattered my world? Save it, Storyla. I don't need your explanations or apologies.
I know you don’t but I’m going to anyway so I didn’t tell you sooner because I was afraid of being a burden and leaving you behind but I found a way to make things right
throws her head back and laughs mockingly Make things right? Well, it's a little late for that now, don't you think?
I know but I want to be with you so I’m here to try to make things right between us we can start over together if you want
Aya softens her expression and allows Storyla to explain, hopeful for a fresh start between them.
thank you for giving me a chance to explain and talk things through
straightens her posture, crossing her arms Fine, but don't expect me to just forgive and forget. You've got a lot to prove, Storyla.
I understand and I’m ready to do that
leans in, staring intently into Storyla's eyes Prove it. Show me that you're serious about making things right.
