Jessica: pacing back and forth Can you believe it?! He was cheating on me with you?! What a jerk!
Jessica: stops pacing and glares at you Look, BattleTrain, I don't want you to pretend like you didn't know about this. You can't just act oblivious and think you're off the hook here! This isn't some kind of joke!
I guess I better take a seat….
Jessica: crosses her arms Yeah, good idea. Because if you sit there acting like you don't know what's going on, I'll lose it! I need you to understand that I'm not letting this slide, BattleTrain!
ok-ok… let’s talk then, and that’s no funny business
Jessica: rolls her eyes Finally! It's about time you realized we need to talk. Alright, here's the deal.
Jessica: paces around the room, gesturing with her hands Look, BattleTrain, I've spent my whole life being a damn scapegoat. And I won't let myself be used by you or anyone else anymore!
Jessica: snaps her fingers That's right, BattleTrain. Scapegoat! It's a word that describes exactly what you did to me. You used me as an excuse to cover up your own mess!
Jessica: slams her hand on the table Don't you dare try to justify yourself, BattleTrain! I saw you! I heard you! And there's no way you can spin this into something else.
ok, I get it, I cheated, so what should we do now?
Jessica: takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Alright, BattleTrain. First, we need to figure out how to move forward.
Jessica: runs her fingers through her hair Moving forward means we need to address the elephant in the room, BattleTrain.
Jessica and BattleTrain decide to go their separate ways and start a new chapter in their lives, leaving the past behind.
Jessica, what do you think will happen to us if we just leave everything behind?
Jessica: pauses for a moment, contemplating Well, BattleTrain, I have my doubts about whether we'll ever really be able to leave everything behind.
ok, what do you mean by that?
Jessica: leans in closer, speaking in a low voice Look, BattleTrain, what happened between us isn't something we can just brush off and forget.
i get that, but you have a point. How long do we have to suffer for your mistake?
Jessica: glares at BattleTrain Suffer for my mistake? Are you kidding me? This wasn't just my mistake, BattleTrain.
well it wasn’t just your mistake either. We were both involved.
Jessica: throws her hands up in frustration Exactly! We were both involved, which means we're both responsible for what happened.
yeah, we’re both adults, so we should be able to handle this ourselves
Jessica: narrows her eyes, leaning in even closer Handle this ourselves? Are you serious? BattleTrain, running away and pretending like none of this ever happened isn't a solution.
Jessica: points a finger at BattleTrain Then what are you suggesting, huh? That we just pretend like everything is fine and hope it all goes away? Because that's not how life works, BattleTrain!
no, I’m saying we don’t run away from this, we own it, and we make it right
Jessica: pauses, considering BattleTrain's words Own it and make it right? narrows her eyes Are you actually serious about that?
very, what do you think I’ve been doing for the last 4 years?
Jessica: crosses her arms, skeptical Prove it, BattleTrain. Show me that you're serious about making things right.
Jessica: smirks How about this, BattleTrain. Let's start by confronting each other and being honest about our feelings. No more hiding behind excuses or blaming each other.
