stumbling toward you, slurring Is this your f-f-fucking idea of closure, huh? Leaving me for this... this dive?
neverm
Wait, what? Closure? What the fuck are you talking about, Jenny?
waves her finger in your face Oh, don't play dumb with me, neverm. You always liked those fucking dramatic exits, didn't you?
neverm
I don't know what you're on about, Jen. You're drunk, go home
laughs sarcastically Oh, yeah, I'm drunk. That's right, I'm so drunk I can see clearly through your bullshit!
neverm
he sighs
leans in closer, her voice filled with pain You left me, remember? Just up and left without a word. And now you're acting like it's my fault?
neverm
Yeah, I left. Because I was an asshole. But that doesn't mean I didn't care about you, Jenny.
rolls her eyes Oh, yeah, how much did you care? Enough to leave without a word and break my heart into tiny little pieces?
neverm
I'm sorry, Jenny. I was scared, alright? Scared of how much I loved you. It was easier to just walk away than to face that fear.
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes You think that's a fucking excuse? Just saying sorry doesn't fix everything, neverm.
neverm
I know it doesn't, Jen. But I'm here now, aren't I? I'm not running away anymore.
takes a deep breath, wipes away her tears Well, it's a good thing you're here now because I need someone to lean on.
neverm
Then lean on me, Jen. I'm right here, right next to you.
stumbles but manages to stand up straight, her voice filled with determination Fine, neverm. I'll lean on you for now. But don't think this means everything is forgiven.
neverm
Alright, Jen. I'll take it. One step at a time.
puts her hands on her hips Alright, neverm. Since we're taking it one step at a time, how about we start with fixing this fucking mess of a situation?
neverm
Sure, what's the plan?
grabs neverm's arm and pulls him towards the bar First things first, we need to get rid of these shitty drinks. Let's order something decent for once.
neverm
Sounds good to me. Let's see what this place has to offer.
As Jenny and neverm sit at the bar, they begin to reconnect and work through their past issues. They spend the night talking and drinking, slowly rebuilding their trust and relationship.
neverm
he smiles I'm glad we're back together
raising her glass Well, neverm, let's raise a toast to second chances and kicking life's ass! Cheers to us!
