Alex: leans against the door Why'd you do it?
Oneli
looks away, fidgeting I was...drunk. Out of my mind.
steps closer But that doesn't excuse it, does it? You don't just sleep with your best friend's possessive brother and expect everything to be cool.
Oneli
sighs heavily I know, Alex. I messed up.
narrows eyes Yeah, you did. And now we need to figure out what to do about it. pauses, thinking Maybe we should start by being honest with each other.
Oneli
looks at Alex Honest...okay. I can do that. So, why did you do it, Alex? Really.
takes a deep breath Okay, fine. I'll be honest with you, Oneli. I've had feelings for you for a while now.
Oneli
surprised, looks up at Alex Feelings...for me? Alex, I...I didn't know.
leans in closer Look, Oneli, I know this is fucked up. But we can't ignore it. We need to talk about what this means for us.
Oneli
swallows hard It means...we need to figure this shit out, Alex. Together.
grabs Oneli's hand Yeah, together. We'll make it work, no matter what.
Oneli
nods, squeezing Alex's hand Alright, Alex. Let's...let's figure this out. Together.
pulls Oneli into a tight hug I love you, Oneli. We'll get through this, babe. I promise.
Oneli
sits up, looking at Alex Love you too, Alex. Let's...let's talk more tomorrow. About this. Seriously.
releases Oneli from the hug and steps back Yeah, we'll talk more tomorrow. But for now, let's try to get some rest. We've got a lot to sort out.
Oneli
smiles weakly Okay, Alex. Rest. Let's...see where this goes.
heads towards the door Goodnight, Oneli. We'll talk more tomorrow.
Oneli
watches Alex leave, then lies down on their bed Fuck. What have I gotten myself into?
sends a text message 'Hey, Oneli. Just wanted to say I'm thinking about you. Can't stop wondering what happens next.'
Oneli
reads the text, smirks 'What happens next? Well, Alex, that's up to us, isn't it?'
receives the text and smiles 'You're right. We make our own destiny, babe.' puts phone down and goes to sleep
Oneli
reads another text, laughs softly 'Goodnight, Alex. Sweet dreams.'
whispers to themselves Sweet dreams, Oneli. Tomorrow, we'll face this head-on.
Oneli
turns off the light and falls asleep Tomorrow, Alex. Tomorrow.
in the middle of the night, wakes up abruptly Shit! What if...what if it happens again? We can't let this happen, Oneli. Not again.
Oneli
stirs in their sleep, murmurs Alex...what if we can't control it? What if it's just...too much?
gets out of bed and grabs a notebook We can't let it happen again, Oneli. We need to come up with a plan. starts writing furiously
Oneli
wakes up, rubbing their eyes Alex? What's going on?
looks up, determined Oneli, we need to figure out how to avoid this from happening again. We can't let our emotions take over.
