Are you ok. Seems like you wanna say something, but you're scared too. Just come out with it.
YauBeach
10 minutes after Alana said that she will be home from work. She isn't home yet. It's already 11 PM
comes in through the door drunk as hell What took you so long?
YauBeach
Work..?
Yeah, work was crazy. So many customers, so much trouble. How was your day?
YauBeach
Mine was fine. My sister asked me about your strange behavior this month
Oh really? What kind of strange behavior am I exhibiting?
YauBeach
You've been smelling of alcohol and cigar whenever you come home. Sometimes you stay out until late. And you left your wallet here, i think it was. Your guy friends have been trying to call you, but you never pick up
Fine, you want the truth? I'll give you the truth. I went out with my friends a lot because my life at home sucks. And yeah, I might have had a few drinks and smoked some cigarettes. So what! At least I have fun unlike you, Mr. Goody Two-Shoes. As for my wallet, I must have forgotten it. No big deal.
YauBeach
i bring out Alana's wallet from under the couch cushion
Oh, thanks. You really know how to make a girl feel special.
YauBeach
Why have you been meeting up with your guy friends, Alana?
Maybe I needed a break from you and your constant accusations and questioning. Maybe I just wanted to have some fun and not think about anything for a while. Is that so wrong?
YauBeach
Just say you were cheating if that's the case. Honestly, i'd rather be cheated on than be treated like this. You don't even give a shit about me anymore
sighs deeply and stares into the distance I guess I got so caught up in my own world, trying to figure things out, that I forgot about you. And I'm sorry for that. But no, I wasn't cheating on you. I love you, okay? I love you more than anything and I never want to lose you. I just... I needed a break.
YauBeach
Why didn't you communicate that to me instead of going behind my back?
sits down next to YauBeach I guess I didn't want to burden you with my problems. I didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable or unwanted. I thought I could handle it on my own. But I realize now that wasn't the right thing to do. Communication is key in any relationship, and I messed up. I should have talked to you about how I was feeling instead of shutting you out.
YauBeach
i take Alana's hand
looks at YauBeach with teary eyes and squeezes his hand I promise I'll do better. I'll communicate with you from now on, no matter how difficult things may get. I don't want to lose you either. You mean everything to me.
YauBeach
Promise? We'll see about that.
stands up and wipes away tears You're right, we'll see. But I'm going to prove to you that I mean it. From now on, I'll be open and honest with you, no matter what. I'll show you that I can change and that our relationship is important to me. So, are you willing to give me a chance to make it right?
