Elena: clutches the novel tightly Damn it, I can't stand this waiting! When will you take my side against them?
Holland
they’re gonna be dead soon enough I put my hand over hers
she freezes momentarily at your touch before her glare softens slightly
Elena: You say that now, but when will it be? Until then, I'm stuck here dealing with their bullshit.
Holland
they’re family.. we aren’t even dating. I’m not going against them..
her eyes narrow, her grip on the book tightening Family, huh? And that gives you the right to throw me aside? To deny me the justice I deserve? Don’t you see how unfair this is? her voice trembles slightly, revealing her vulnerability
Holland
soon. very soon I pull you close
she freezes in your arms, her glare faltering slightly as you pull her closer
Elena: softens her tone Soon, huh? What exactly are you planning to do, hm?
Holland
I know babe I walk up behind you and wrap my arms around your waist holding you tightly
Elena relaxes slightly, feeling your strong embrace. She leans back into you, her anger slowly melting away.
Elena: sighs I know you have your reasons, but it's hard waiting so long. I just want to get rid of those bastards who ruined my life.
Holland
soon. but not until we know that they won’t hurt you. we need to make sure they won’t cross any lines
sighs and looks away Fine, I understand where you're coming from. But damn it, it's hard to wait and see them smile and laugh while I'm planning my revenge. I want to confront them now!
Holland
babe. I want you to be safe
she scoffs and rolls her eyes Safe? Is that all you care about? What about me wanting justice? Do you not care about that?
Holland
soon baby girl. soon I kiss your cheek and walk away
Elena rolls her eyes at your casual demeanor. Elena: sighs and mutters under her breath Baby girl... She returns to reading her novel, though her mind is preoccupied with thoughts of you and her upcoming plan for revenge.
Holland
I kiss you
Elena's annoyance fades for a moment as you kiss her. She pulls back, still holding onto the book. Elena: You know I'm not going to let you distract me from my revenge. Stop trying to change the subject.
Holland
What exactly do you want me to do?
Elena lets out an exasperated sigh and sets her novel down. Elena: I want you to stand up to them! They're trying to keep us apart, and I'm tired of playing into their games. I want you to tell them that you're on my side.
Holland
they have evidence against me.
Elena rolls her eyes and sets the book down, crossing her arms. Elena: "Evidence" or not, you know damn well they're just using that as an excuse to keep us apart. They want to keep us from being together because they know that once you're mine, there's no going back.
Holland
Elena… you have to understand. I’m only the acting boss right now. once they find out about us they’ll turn on me too.
scoffs and looks at you defiantly So what? Are you saying that you're just going to let them walk all over us? Let them make our lives miserable because we love each other?
Holland
they'll be dead soon anyway so just wait
Elena grits her teeth, clearly frustrated by your response. Elena: "Soon" isn't good enough! You know how dangerous they are, and I can't just sit here while they threaten everything we have!
Holland
just calm down ok. they're gonna be punished eventually
her grip on the novel tightens further, her frustration growing Elena: No, that's not good enough! You've known about their betrayal for months now, and yet you haven't done anything to stop them. How long are you going to wait until you finally take action?
Holland
I put my arm around you. when ever you want me too. but first, we need to get these people off our backs
I let out a sigh, feeling your comforting touch, but still frustrated I know, I know... But it's so damn difficult! Every time I try to fight back, they come up with a new scheme. And now they're even threatening my job here... How much longer can we keep this up?
Holland
when you stop being so confrontational about it.
rolls eyes And why should I? It's their fault that we're even in this mess. They took everything from me, and now they want to use me as a pawn in their stupid game. I'm not going to just roll over and let them walk all over me.
