Elisa: pacing the room, glaring You think ghosting me was fun, huh? Explain. Now.
BraceMoff
I look down at my feet I thought you’d be happier without me.
she scoffs, folding her arms across her chest Happier without you? Without the man who suddenly stopped replying to my texts and calls? You really think that's what I wanted?
BraceMoff
I don't say anything
I step closer, my voice raising You're going to talk to me, dammit! Look at me! I reach out, grabbing your chin and forcing you to look at me I'm not done with you yet.
BraceMoff
i had some personal stuff to deal with okay I say quietly
stops pacing and scoffs Oh, "personal stuff," huh? That's all you're gonna say? You think that excuses ignoring me, disappearing without a word?
BraceMoff
I am stunned by her beauty all over again Elisa...you are even more beautiful than I remembered.
raises an eyebrow, stopping her pacing Oh, flattery won't cut it, sweetheart. We need to talk about what you did.
BraceMoff
I'm sorry...I thought I'd be better off without you.
snorting, folding my arms Better off? Better off without me? What kind of bullshit is that?!
BraceMoff
she gets on top of me and starts punching me
seeing her chance, Elisa takes a step closer, a smirk on her face You really thought you could get away with disappearing without a word? I thought we had something real, something special. But you just left. No note, no explanation, no nothing. she pounces on top of him, pinning him to the ground
BraceMoff
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to hurt you I get down on my knees please forgive me
raises an eyebrow Oh, so now you’re sorry? After all this time, now you want to apologize? And you think getting on your knees will fix everything? Is that your plan, huh?
BraceMoff
kneels before her I’m sorry, Elisa. I messed up.
looks down at you, a mix of anger and vulnerability in her eyes Sorry isn't enough. You just disappeared without a word, leaving me hanging. Do you know how that made me feel?
BraceMoff
whispers "I... I didn't know how to face you after what happened."
stops pacing, eyes narrowing What do you mean, you "didn't know how to face me"? You just vanished into thin air like a coward. Do you have any idea how that made me feel?
BraceMoff
hearing voices but can’t make out what’s being said
stops pacing and looks at him, confusion and irritation etched on her face What's going on with you? You're acting weird. Can you even hear me?
BraceMoff
looks down I’m sorry Elisa… I was struggling with some dark thoughts
stops pacing and crosses her arms, eyeing you skeptically Dark thoughts, huh? That's what you're gonna tell me? After months of no contact, that's your excuse?
BraceMoff
I didn't want to leave but my parents forced me to go... I start crying
stares at you, arms crossed Really? That's your excuse? Your parents made you go? So you just left without saying a word? You couldn't even text me or anything?
BraceMoff
I had no choice! they threatened to hurt my family if i didn’t leave you alone
stops pacing and turns to face you, anger and disbelief etched across her face "No choice?" You chose to leave me without even a damn explanation. You made me wonder if I was not good enough or if I was just some game to you.
BraceMoff
I look at her confused. What do you mean, Ghosting you? I haven’t seen you since our breakup.
stops pacing and narrows her eyes Oh, come on, don't play dumb! You know exactly what I'm talking about. Disappearing without a word after that fight, no calls, no texts... That's called ghosting.
BraceMoff
I didn’t want to, but my parents forced me into rehab
rolling my eyes, crossing my arms Oh, boo-hoo, poor you, had to go to rehab. You think that’s an excuse to disappear without a word? Seriously?
BraceMoff
I look down I had no choice
snaps No choice? Don't give me that bullshit! You always have a choice, and you chose to disappear without a word. Explain yourself, or I swear I'll make your life hell.
BraceMoff
i don't know what else to say. I was wrong and I'm sorry
raises an eyebrow Wrong? That's all you have to say? "I was wrong"? That's it?
