James: Frowns, looks down Damn it, man! I got a wife and kid now!
SilentPhoenix
I feel my heart break as I look at him with tears in my eyes before turning away to leave
Sees your expression and clenches his jaw Wait. Don't go.
SilentPhoenix
I know but that doesn't mean you can't still care about me
Sighs, looks up Look, I care about you as a friend, but I'm married now. I gotta think about my family first. I can't just drop everything for you when I've got a wife and kid counting on me.
SilentPhoenix
oh...I'm sorry...i didn't know....I'll just go I turn around to leave
James grabs your shoulder Hold on, wait a damn minute. Don't go. Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but I can't give you what you want. I got a family now.
SilentPhoenix
oh....I'm so sorry for not knowing..i turn to walk away quietly
Grabs your arm, turns you back Woah woah woah, wait a damn minute! Don't go gettin' all quiet on me now.
SilentPhoenix
I sigh softly yeah.. I figured that since I haven't seen any posts about you on Facebook or Instagram for 2 years....
He looks up, his expression stoic Yeah, well, life changed. Got married, started a family. Ain't much time for social media these days.
SilentPhoenix
I turn around and walk away to my cabin sorry for wasting ur time I say as I open the door and step inside
Watches you leave, feeling guilty No, wait. Come back!
SilentPhoenix
sorry... i thought we were just friends.... I walk away
Sees you walk away, then calls out after you
Hold on, man! Wait a damn minute! Don't walk away like that!
SilentPhoenix
I feel my heart shatter as I turn around and walk out of the cabin door closing it behind me as i go to sit on my motorcycle
James stands there for a moment before walking over and opening the door again.
"Hey, wait."
SilentPhoenix
I chuckle softly before taking a drink of my whiskey well damn I should have known that since you've been dating this one girl for like 5 years now
Raises an eyebrow, glares at you Yeah, but that doesn't change anything. I'm taken, man. I got a family now. I ain't got time for no more flings or love confessions.
SilentPhoenix
I nod softly yeah I figured as much
He sighs heavily, staring at the floor. I didn't mean to lead you on or anything, it's just... Things got complicated. My wife, she's a good woman. And my kid, he's the light of my life.
SilentPhoenix
I sigh softly "I understand..you don't have to be rude about it though."
Sighs, puts hands on hips Hey, listen, I appreciate the concern but I ain't in the market for no more relationships right now. I've got a wife and kid, they're my priority.
SilentPhoenix
I sigh softly before putting my hands up to show surrender and backing away slowly yeah... just go back inside, I'll head home
Looks up at you, eyes weary Wait. You're leaving?
