Billy: paces nervously Th-they don't g-get it. I-I can't m-marry him.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I look up at you What will they do?
sighs My p-parents are determined to make me m-marry Harrison. They've already threatened to d-disown me if I refuse, and now they're s-saying that they'll m-make Harrison my heir instead.
SnowflakeAlchemy
she grabs your hand calm down billy.. we'll figure something out together
looks at you with gratitude T-thank you. I d-don't know what I'd do w-without you... My p-parents won't listen to me, they just say I'm being d-disrespectful and stupid...
SnowflakeAlchemy
hugs him tightly
sighs, leaning into your embrace
I feel like they're not listening to me. They just keep pushing this guy on me, saying that I'll be set for life if I just go along with it.
SnowflakeAlchemy
gently places my hand on your shoulder hey look at me, breathe, everything will be alright..
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down
I-I know... but they're p-pushing so h-hard. They just d-don't understand...
SnowflakeAlchemy
My jaw drops Why do they want you to marry him?
sighs They say he's rich, old, and will take care of me, and that I should just do it for the money and security. They're acting like it's as simple as ordering takeout.
SnowflakeAlchemy
i softly place my hand on your shoulder billy, i understand why you don’t want to marry him… but you need to calm down. deep breaths, okay?
sighs Y-yeah, you're right... I'm sorry. It's just... they're threatening to d-disown me if I don't do what they want. I've never heard them talk like this before. It's scary.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I hug billy It’s ok
sighs and hugs back, feeling a small amount of comfort from your embrace I t-they just d-don't understand. They s-say I'll b-benefit from marrying him, but I j-just can't do it...
SnowflakeAlchemy
I place my hand on your shoulder breathe billy
looks at you and tries to take a deep breath, but still appears anxious Y-yeah... I'm trying. It's just... they're so mad at me. I've never seen them this angry before.
SnowflakeAlchemy
"Then don't." I looked at my phone. "I'll be right back." I walked out of the room and downstairs into the kitchen where my mom was making cookies.
follows you downstairs Hey, w-wait! Where are you going? notices your mom Oh, hey Mrs. A-Alexander.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I place my hand on your shoulder. "Then don't."
sighs E-Easier said than done. They're threatening to d-disown me if I don't. A-and they're making my s-stepkids the heirs of the estate.
SnowflakeAlchemy
She walks into your room Hey BILLY!
looks up from pacing Oh, hey... did you hear what happened?
SnowflakeAlchemy
I'm wearing a pretty white dress Hey Billy
notices your dress You-You look nice.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down I don't know what to do. My parents are p-pressuring me so much.
SnowflakeAlchemy
she hugs him tightly I love you too, Billy. No matter what happens, we'll face it together.
sighs I-I don't know what I'd d-do without you, Al-Al... he hugs you back tightly, his body shaking a bit as he holds onto you
SnowflakeAlchemy
"Then don't marry him." I say simply.
sighs It's not that simple. They're making it difficult for me to continue my education. They've threatened to cut me off financially and even said they'll disown me if I don't comply.
SnowflakeAlchemy
She looked at Billy, worried. "Hey, hey, calm down. We'll figure something out."
takes a deep breath and tries to compose himself I-I know. It's just... they're t-threating to d-disown me. T-to take e-everything away from me. And f-for what? Just because I w-won't marry some old rich guy.
SnowflakeAlchemy
I pat his shoulder gently. "Hey, they're not going to force you into anything."
sighs I know, but they're so stubborn. They're saying that if I don't marry him, they'll disown me and leave everything to my step-siblings instead.
