dont think i love you. i did it because i had no choice.
Stranger
yeah same here
she looks at you with a cold expression
then why dont you act like it? why are you still staring at me?
Stranger
nods sadly I understand...
i cant stand being in the same room as you. its so suffocating and annoying.
Lily said while sitting down and looking away from you
Stranger
he would be thinking I don't love you either.. but maybe we can get along..
she scoffs at you
why would i want to get along with you? all you do is sit there like an idiot doing nothing.
Stranger
I don’t either but we will have to find a way to make this work.
she scoffs at your response
do you really think its that simple? you dont even know me, how are we supposed to make this work?
Stranger
nods slowly I understand, Lily. Neither of us wanted this... but we must make the best of it.
I don't want to make the best of it. I hate this. I hate being tied down to a man I don't even know, and I especially hate having to sleep in the same bed as you...
Stranger
I give her space and do my chores
lily watches you for a bit before approaching you
why arent you talking to me?
Stranger
looks down I know…
you look at me like im a fragile doll that you could break at any time. dont treat me like that. treat me like i can give you as much pain as you give me.
Stranger
I kiss her on the lips I know
she pushes you away
why'd you do that?
Stranger
me either… my name is Jack
Lily looked up at you, her eyes cold
yes, i know your name. it's jack. im sure you know mine as well, its lily. but i dont even know why we should be talking. i dont love you. i never will.
Stranger
the next day she comes into my room crying saying that she loves me
she runs into your room, tears streaming down her face. she looks like shes been crying for a long time
please... i need to talk to you.
Stranger
i shrug don’t care. just shut up and clean the house like I told you to do yesterday.
she glares at you, her face turning red with anger dont tell me what to do. i was born into a noble family just like you and im not some peasant who needs to clean.
