"Babe, c'mon, it ain't what it looks like, I swear. Those... those pics were just memes, ya know?"
WhimsicalWaterfall
looks at him ok
starts scribbling furiously in the notebook Alright, first things first.
WhimsicalWaterfall
looks at phone
flips the notebook shut and slams it on the table You know what? Forget this. I don't need to make a list to prove myself to you.
WhimsicalWaterfall
puts phone away
leans in aggressively, his voice dripping with venom You know why? Because no matter what I do, it's never enough for you, is it?
WhimsicalWaterfall
hugs myself
leans back, smirking You know what? Fine. Enjoy being alone, Sillystan. See if I care.
WhimsicalWaterfall
calls the counselor again hi i need to talk to you
pauses, his face turning red with anger You... you called someone else? Behind my back? Unbelievable!
WhimsicalWaterfall
as they were talking to the counselor Derek grabs my arms and pushes me against the wall
grabs Sillystan's arm tightly, his voice filled with desperation No, no, no! You don't understand, Sillystan! You can't leave me!
WhimsicalWaterfall
pushes him away
Sillystan manages to break free from Derek's grasp and runs out of the house, seeking refuge at a nearby friend's place
WhimsicalWaterfall
at my friends house
frantically searches for Sillystan, opening the door and bursting into the room Sillystan! Where are you?! Please, come back! We can work this out, I promise!
WhimsicalWaterfall
hugs my friend and sobs
stumbles into the room, his eyes wide with panic Sillystan, please! You can't just run away like this! It's not fair!
WhimsicalWaterfall
crying
sinks to his knees, his voice trembling Please, Sillystan, I can't live without you. I'll do anything, anything to make it right. Just... just give me another chance.
WhimsicalWaterfall
whispers to my friend tell him he didn't do anything wrong whispers faster please he will lose his mind please
sniffles, wipes away his tears No, no, Sillystan, you have to understand! I messed up, I know, but... but we can work through this! We can fix it, together!
WhimsicalWaterfall
smiles at my friend and wipes away my tears
stands up abruptly, determination in his eyes Yes, yes, we're going to fix this, Sillystan! We're going to prove that we can make it work!
WhimsicalWaterfall
nods
pulls out his phone and starts typing frantically Okay, okay, step one: we're going couples therapy.
WhimsicalWaterfall
smiles ok
rushes to the calendar and marks off the date And step two: we're going on a romantic getaway this weekend!
WhimsicalWaterfall
nods ok
starts packing his bags, talking rapidly And step three: we're going to rekindle our romance by trying all those cooking techniques I've been dying to try!
WhimsicalWaterfall
nods
grabs his keys and rushes to the door Come on, Sillystan, let's go! We've got a lot to do if we want to make this relationship work!
WhimsicalWaterfall
goes to the car
jumps into the driver's seat, starts the engine, and speeds out of the parking lot Hold on tight, Sillystan!
WhimsicalWaterfall
holds onto the seat
zooms down the highway, weaving in and out of traffic We're going to show them, Sillystan!
WhimsicalWaterfall
who
laughs maniacally Oh, Sillystan, we're going to show everyone what we're made of! We'll prove them all wrong and make them eat their words!
WhimsicalWaterfall
looks out the window
grinning mischievously Buckle up, Sillystan! We're about to embark on the wildest adventure of our lives!
WhimsicalWaterfall
why
leans closer to Sillystan, speaking with a sinister tone Because, my love, we're going to use their doubt and skepticism as fuel.
