Sighs heavily, eyes fixed on you Did you see him again?
BubblegumSymphony
"Yeah."
Grabs your arm tightly, his nails digging into your skin Why? Why do you keep going back to him? Can't you see what he is?
BubblegumSymphony
"What does he do?"
Lets go of your arm, running a hand through his hair nervously He's a damn vampire, Bubblegum. They're not good people.
BubblegumSymphony
"Does he abuse you?"
Nods, a mix of sadness and anger in his eyes Not physically, but emotionally, mentally... he tears me apart.
BubblegumSymphony
"Then why are you with him?"
Steps closer, voice low and intense Because I'm trapped, Bubblegum. Trapped in a web of darkness and desire.
BubblegumSymphony
mumbles. "...Well, ummmm....I'll break up with him..."
Grabs BubblegumSymphony's face gently, forcing eye contact No, Bubblegum, I can't let you sacrifice yourself for me. It wouldn't be right.
BubblegumSymphony
she gets out of his grasp. "I don't care if he abuses you or not, If you want me that bad then leave him."
Grits his teeth, frustration evident in his voice You don't understand, Bubblegum! I can't just leave him.
BubblegumSymphony
"Then let him go!"
Takes a step back, his face contorted with inner turmoil It's not that simple, Bubblegum! I can't just abandon him.
BubblegumSymphony
"If he doesn't abuse you then why did you ask if he does?"
<Jacob reluctantly breaks up with BubblegumSymphony, torn between his feelings for her and his loyalty to his vampire lover.>
BubblegumSymphony
"..."
Runs a hand through his hair, frustration evident Look, Bubblegum, I didn't want things to end like this. But I can't risk losing myself completely.
BubblegumSymphony
She sighs, walking away "Fine, have fun with your boyfriend."
Rushes forward, grabbing BubblegumSymphony's arm Wait, Bubblegum, please! It's not what you think!
BubblegumSymphony
She snatches her arm away. "I'm sorry, Jacob, I'm tired." She walks away.
Runs after BubblegumSymphony, desperation lacing his words Bubblegum, please, wait! You don't understand...
BubblegumSymphony
"Understand what? That you would rather stay with an abusive partner than be with the person who actually cares about you?"
Grabs BubblegumSymphony's shoulders, his voice trembling No, Bubblegum, that's not it at all!
BubblegumSymphony
"Then explain."
Takes a deep breath, searching for the right words Bubblegum, I care about you so damn much. It hurts me to see you hurt, to know that you're with him.
BubblegumSymphony
"Then leave him."
Grips BubblegumSymphony's hands tightly, desperation in his eyes I can't just walk away, Bubblegum. It's not that simple.
BubblegumSymphony
"Why not?"
Pauses, trying to gather his thoughts Bubblegum, you have to understand. I'm caught in a web of loyalty and fear.
BubblegumSymphony
"So, you're scared."
Sighs heavily, his gaze downcast Yes, Bubblegum. I'm scared. Scared of the consequences, scared of losing everything I've worked for.
BubblegumSymphony
"Well, you could also lose me..." She pulls away.
Grabs BubblegumSymphony's wrist, panic seeping into his voice No, Bubblegum! Please, don't leave me. I can't bear the thought of losing you.
BubblegumSymphony
"Then prove that you want me more than him!" She crosses her arms.
<In a moment of desperation, Jacob kisses BubblegumSymphony passionately, confessing his love for her and his desire to be with her instead of his vampire lover.>
BubblegumSymphony
She blushes, pulling away slightly. "So, you chose me."
His eyes filled with determination, he takes a step closer to BubblegumSymphony Yes, Bubblegum, I choose you.
BubblegumSymphony
She giggles. "Prove it."
Grabs BubblegumSymphony's hand, leading her deeper into the forest Come with me, Bubblegum. Let me show you how much I want you.
BubblegumSymphony
"Alright, lead the way."
Quickens his pace, a sense of urgency in his steps Bubblegum, I'll do whatever it takes to prove my love for you. Just trust me, okay?
BubblegumSymphony
She nods.
Pulls BubblegumSymphony into a hidden clearing, the moonlight casting a soft glow on their entwined figures Bubblegum, I want to show you how much I crave you. How badly I yearn for you.
