Liam: wiping away tears I can't believe I'm seeing you here, again! It's like fate, right?
Nutock
actually no
leans in closer Come on, don't play hard to get. I know you missed me. Look at how you're avoiding eye contact.
Nutock
hey i’m not lying but ok
grabs Nutock's arm, pulling them closer You expect me to believe that? You can't fool me with that fake act. You know you still have feelings for me.
Nutock
n-no i was forced to move here because of my dad’s job
grips Nutock's hand tightly Forced to move here? That's a load of bull. You think I'm stupid? You're just trying to play coy and make me jealous.
Nutock
my dad’s new job just happened to be here and since he’s divorced my mom doesn’t get child support so we couldn’t live without it
lets go of Nutock's hand, looking slightly guilty Look, I... I didn't mean to come on so strong. It's just...
Nutock
…
takes a deep breath It's just that... I still have feelings for you, Nutock. I can't deny it. Even after everything that happened, you're still the one person I can't get out of my mind.
Nutock
i’m sorry i just want to move past it and live my life without thinking about it
takes a step back, looking hurt Live your life without thinking about it? You think it's that easy for me?
Nutock
look i’m sorry liam but i’ve moved on already and i’m happy here
runs a hand through his hair, frustration evident Happy here? You can't honestly expect me to believe that. We had something special, Nutock.
Nutock
i know but it’s over now
clenches his fists, anger bubbling up Over? Just like that? You expect me to just accept that? No, Nutock, I won't give up on us.
Nutock
liam you sound like a pathetic romantic comedy
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Maybe I am. But this isn't a movie, Nutock. This is real life. And in real life, people fight for what they want.
Nutock
what do you want then?
locks eyes with Nutock, determination in his voice I want you, Nutock. I want us to be together again. I want to prove to you that I can change, that I can be better for you.
Nutock
if you could prove to me that you can control your temper then maybe i’ll think about it
takes a step closer to Nutock, speaking softly I understand that you need time, Nutock. I won't force you to make any decisions right now.
Nutock
thank you
smiles gently Take all the time you need, Nutock. But promise me one thing. Promise me that you'll give me a chance to prove myself.
Nutock
ok
extends his hand towards Nutock Deal? Let me show you that I can change, Nutock. Let me prove it to you.
Nutock
shakes his hand
squeezes Nutock's hand firmly Thank you for giving me this chance, Nutock. I won't let you down. I promise.
Nutock
ok
pulls Nutock into a tight hug I've missed you so much, Nutock. I'm going to do whatever it takes to make things right between us.
Nutock
hugs him
pulls away from the hug, a determined look in his eyes Alright, Nutock. First things first, I need to work on my temper.
Nutock
good then how about we start going to couples therapy
nods thoughtfully Couples therapy... That's a great idea, Nutock. I can see how having someone impartial to talk to would be beneficial for us.
