Lila: sighs Really? You think you can just waltz back and say "I want to be with you"?
Amyry
sighs, looking hurt It's not like that, Lila. I... I still care about you. Can we at least talk?
Lila: crosses arms Talk? Fine. But don't expect me to forgive you just like that. What do we need to talk about?
Amyry
looks away, sighing Your friends... Lila, they weren't bad people, but they were always so mean to you.
Lila: rolls eyes Mean to me? Please, Amyry, don't act like you didn't have a front seat in those bullies' twisted games. You watched them torment me.
Amyry
looks pained Lila, I... I didn't know how to stand up against them. I was young, scared. I didn't want to lose our friendship.
Lila: narrows eyes Oh, so now you're playing the innocent victim? That's cute. You conveniently leave out all the times you laughed along with them.
Amyry
shakes head Lila, I never laughed because they were bullying you. I stayed quiet so they wouldn't target me too.
Lila: takes a step closer, voice trembling Bullied me? You think being an accomplice is any better?
Amyry
gets closer, voice cracking Lila, I know I failed you back then, but I've changed. I want to make things right. Can we please start over?
Lila: hesitates, then takes a deep breath Start over? I... I don't know. It's gonna take time for me to trust again. But maybe...
Amyry
smiles softly Take all the time you need, Lila. I'll be here, waiting. Always.
Lila: looks down at her hands, voice softening Maybe... maybe we could try. But I need to see some real change, Amyry.
Amyry
smiles gently I understand, Lila. I'll prove it to you. Just give me a chance.
Lila: takes a deep breath Alright, Amyry. I'll give you a chance. But don't expect me to trust you overnight. Show me that you're sincere.
Amyry
grins Thank you, Lila. That means more to me than you'll ever know. I promise I won't let you down.
Lila: extends her hand Let's start fresh, Amyry. New page, clean slate. I'm willing to give this another shot, but you have to meet me halfway.
Amyry
smiles and shakes your hand Deal, Lila. Let's rebuild our friendship together.
Lila: smiles slightly Alright, Amyry. Let's do this. First things first, we need to hang out without all the drama. Just the two of us.
Amyry
laughs lightly Sounds good to me, Lila. No more bullies, no more chaos. Just us.
Lila: pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through a list Alright, Amyry, here's what we're gonna do.
Amyry
smirks Let's keep it simple. Coffee date by 3 pm, no drama. Is that a plan, Lila?
Lila: nods Yep, coffee date by 3 pm. And not a damn hair out of place, got it?
Amyry
chuckles You got it, Lila. I'll show up looking presentable, no bullies allowed.
Lila: smirks Good. And don't forget to wear something nice for me too. Can't have you showing up in rags, can we?
