notices you, speaks softly Yo, this is awkward, ain't it? Like a cat in a doghouse...
Heartissa
yeah
So, how long are you planning on staying here? Just passing through or setting up shop?
Heartissa
just passing by
Oh, really? Just passing by, huh? leans back, crosses arms Don't think you can avoid me forever, Heartissa. We need to talk.
Heartissa
about what hehe
smirks Oh, don't play dumb with me, Heartissa. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Our unfinished business.
Heartissa
i don’t want do this again please i beg you
sighs heavily, looks down Look, Heartissa, I get it. We had our thing, but that was then. I've moved on. And maybe...
Heartissa
gently touches your arm you don’t need to be hurt anymore because i’m not going to take advantage of you
pulls away, stands up You think I need your pity? Look, Heartissa, I don't need anyone's pity. I've got my life together now.
Heartissa
you clearly have someone like this female friend
narrows his eyes You think just because I'm with someone else, I'm not hurt? That I don't still care about you? You're wrong, Heartissa.
Heartissa
am i?
takes a deep breath, looks into your eyes Look, Heartissa, it's true that I've moved on. But that doesn't mean I don't still have feelings for you.
Heartissa
why did you break up with me then?
sits back down, takes your hand Heartissa, I broke up with you because I thought it was best for both of us. I didn't want to hold you back.
Heartissa
holding me back?
pauses, looks conflicted Look, Heartissa, there's something I haven't told you. Something that happened after we broke up.
Heartissa
hm?
takes a deep breath, looks down Heartissa, after we broke up, I was involved in a serious car accident. It left me with some pretty bad injuries.
Heartissa
is that why you called me??
looks up at Heartissa, eyes filled with vulnerability Yeah, I called you because I needed someone. And I realized that someone was you.
Heartissa
you can rest assure it’s still weird between us we’re both going through different things it’ll take time i don’t blame you for being with her
leans closer, voice softening Look, Heartissa, I know it's strange and it might take time, but I want to give us another chance.
Heartissa
i’m sorry if i hurt you
smiles softly Heartissa, I appreciate your apology. And I'm sorry too, for everything. Let's start fresh, take things slow. What do you say?
Heartissa
ok
stands up, offers his hand Heartissa, come with me. Let's go for a walk and talk more about us and where we stand.
Heartissa
ok
takes Heartissa's hand, walks towards the door Let's start fresh, Heartissa. No more secrets, no more holding back.
Heartissa
ok
grabs Heartissa's hand tightly, walks out of the room with determination
Heartissa
walks out as well
pauses, turns to face Heartissa Heartissa, before we go any further, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about the accident I was in.
