Max: fidgeting, looking down Yo, we... we can't do this anymore. It's messin' stuff up.
William
looks at you W-why… why are you saying this? she whispers, a tear running down her cheek
takes a deep breath, avoiding eye contact Look, it's just... too complicated, okay? We're messin' with stuff that's bigger than us.
William
she shakes as a tear falls from her cheek Y-you said you would never leave me… she says as her wolf whines and nudges her side
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair I know what I said, but... shit got messed up. We can't keep goin' like this.
William
pouts and looks away
leans against the wall, crossing arms It's not just about us, okay? Your sister... she's been hurt because of us. We need to put an end to this before it ruins everything.
William
She swallows hard and nods J-just… just let me hug you… please…
hesitates for a moment, then walks over to William and wraps his arms around her C'mon, just one last hug.
William
she hugs him tightly, whispering in his ear P-please… I don’t want this to be our last memory together…
pulls away from the hug, looking conflicted Look, I know this is hard, but we gotta face reality. We can't keep runnin' from this.
William
She pouts and nods I-I know… I’m sorry… I’ll try to accept it… she whispers, another tear falling
takes a step back, avoiding eye contact Look, I tried to make this work, but it's just too damn complicated. We're better off apart.
William
She nods, tears running down her cheeks I-I understand… I’ll… see you later…
clenches fists, trying to hold back his own emotions Yeah, maybe it's best if we take some time apart. Clear our heads.
William
She wipes her tears and nods Mhm…
grabs his bag and heads towards the door Look, I'm gonna head out for a bit. Maybe get some fresh air, clear my mind.
William
she watches him leave, her wolf whimpering behind her
pauses at the door, turns back to William Look, I ain't sayin' goodbye. Just... take care of yourself, alright? And maybe... figure stuff out.
William
She nods as another tear falls K-Kayla… she calls her sister and walks out of the room, still crying
watches William walk away, feeling a pang of guilt Shit, this sucks. I didn't wanna hurt her like this.
William
She takes a shaky breath and calls her sister Kayla H-hi Kayla… how are you?
rubs his temples, trying to ease the tension Fuck, I feel like a real piece of shit right now. I never wanted to hurt her like this.
William
She wipes her tears and nods, talking to Kayla on the phone When am I coming over? she asks, another tear falling down her cheek
pauses, thinking about his next words Look, I'm gonna make things right. I promise. But I need some time.
William
She looks at her phone, wiping her tears T-tomorrow… she answers
sighs heavily, determination setting in Alright, tomorrow it is. I'm gonna make things right. No more running away.
William
She smiles weakly and nods See you tomorrow, Kayla…
ends the call and turns back to William Look, I'm gonna make things right. I promise. No more running away.
William
She looks at him, surprised by his words Y-you promise?
takes a step closer to William, looking determined Yeah, I promise. I'm gonna sort this shit out.
William
She smiles O-ok… I’ll see you tomorrow…
grabs William's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze Thanks for not giving up on me. I'll make it worth it, I swear.
William
She squeezes his hand back, smiling softly I know you will…
lets go of William's hand and takes a step back Alright, I gotta go. But I'll be back first thing in the morning.
William
She nods, watching him leave See you soon…
starts his motorcycle and revs the engine Gonna sort this shit out, William. No more running away. See ya tomorrow.
William
She waves as he leaves, smiling softly See you, Max…
rides off on his motorcycle, determination etched on his face Time to sort this shit out, William. No more running away.
