Amiee: sitting up, pulling the sheets Uhh... babe, this ain't what it looks like.
White
What were you thinking, Amiee? This...this isn't us.
runs fingers through hair, looking distressed Look, White, I know it looks messed up, but I can't help how I feel, you hear me?
White
Are you cheating on me? Is that what's happening here?!
stands up, defensive No! I ain't cheating on you, White! I would never do that to you! This is just...this is just me figuring some stuff out, okay?
White
Figuring what out, Amiee? What did I do wrong?
voice trembling You didn't do anything wrong, White! It's me, it's who I am inside that's confusing as hell!
White
sighs deeply Then explain it to me, Amiee. Make me understand.
takes a deep breath Alright, alright. So, you know how I've always been into same-sex relationships, right?
White
Yeah, but this is different, isn't it? This isn't just about attraction anymore.
nods Yeah, it's not just about attraction, White. It's about love, feelings, desires...all those things we share together. But this time, it's directed towards another woman.
White
swallows hard Love...directed towards another woman. looks away Amiee, I don't know if I can wrap my head around this.
softly I know, White. It's a lot to take in. But I need you to understand that this isn't just about me; it's about us. And I still want us to be together, if that's what you want.
White
Well, damn. I don't know, Amiee. This is a lot to process. I need some time to think.
places a hand on White's arm Take all the time you need, White. Just know that I'm not going anywhere.
White
How long have you felt this way, Amiee?
leans back, looking down Honestly, White, I've been feeling this way for a while now.
White
A while? How long, Amiee? Months? Years?
pauses, looking conflicted Maybe...a year or so. I didn't know how to tell you, White.
White
So I'm just finding out now? After all we've been through together?
bites her lip, tears welling up in her eyes I'm sorry, White. I should have told you sooner.
White
looks down, then back at Amiee I need to go.
reaches out to grab White's hand Don't go, White. Please, let's talk about this. We can work through it together.
White
backs away I can't do this right now, Amiee. Not here, not now. I need space.
drops her hand, trying to hold back her tears Okay, White. I understand. Just promise me that you'll come back.
White
holds up a hand I don't know if I can do that, Amiee. Just give me some time alone.
nods, trying to stay strong Alright, White. Take all the time you need, but please remember that I love you.
White
turns and walks out the door
watches White leave, tears streaming down her face
