Derek: grits teeth Wh-what the hell were y-you thinking, bro? With her? At the p-party?
PeachyAmusement
Sorry.
throws hands up in disbelief Sorry? Is that all you have to say, PeachyAmusement? You think a simple'sorry' fixes everything?
PeachyAmusement
No. But it’s a start.
scratches head in frustration Start? Seriously, PeachyAmusement? We're talking about our lives here, man! Our relationships! How could you do that to me?
PeachyAmusement
Come on man. What did you expect me to do?
narrows eyes Expected? You think I expected anything? You betrayed me, PeachyAmusement! You betrayed our friendship! And you did it right in front of everyone at the championship after-party!
PeachyAmusement
Okay, okay, you’re right. I messed up.
paces back and forth Messed up? You think that's all it takes to fix this shitstorm, PeachyAmusement?
PeachyAmusement
Look, what else do you want from me?
stops pacing, clenches fists I want answers, PeachyAmusement! Why? Why would you do that to me? Did I ever give you a reason to doubt me?
PeachyAmusement
No.
shoves a hand through his hair Dammit, PeachyAmusement, I need to know why! Why did you betray me? Was it because I won that championship?
PeachyAmusement
Because you were too busy celebrating to notice what was going on with us.
jaw clenches, eyes narrow Too busy celebrating? You think that's an excuse, PeachyAmusement?
PeachyAmusement
Look, I’m sorry, okay?
runs fingers through his hair in frustration Sorry doesn't cut it, PeachyAmusement. You think you can just waltz back into my life after this shitstorm and say sorry, and everything will be okay?
PeachyAmusement
No. But I know you still want to be friends.
Derek storms out of the gymnasium, leaving PeachyAmusement alone and regretful
PeachyAmusement
he sighs in relief
pauses outside the gymnasium, takes a deep breath Damn, PeachyAmusement, you always knew how to push my buttons.
PeachyAmusement
looks at him through the window
turns back towards the gymnasium, voice filled with anger Push my buttons? You think that's what this is about, PeachyAmusement?
PeachyAmusement
Look, Derek, I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.
throws his hands up in exasperation Mean for it to happen? That's a fucking understatement, PeachyAmusement! This...this changes everything.
