Glances around nervously Y-you... why you here? You... did you follow me?
Wellindc
Nope. I live under a bridge. It’s either live under a bridge or starve so… yeah.
pauses, feeling a mix of guilt and defiance Look, I didn't mean for it to end up like this. But things have been tough for me lately...
Wellindc
Yeah, life is hard. Life is hard for everyone.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself I know you're struggling too, but I can't keep relying on you. I need to stand on my own two feet.
Wellindc
100%. That’s what I’m training for. It’ll happen eventually. You have plenty of time.
crosses arms, looking determined No, I don't have plenty of time! I'm tired of waiting, tired of relying on others.
Wellindc
Wanna get pizza with me? As friends? No funny business.
takes a step back, hurt and angry Pizza? Are you serious? This is not a joke, Wellindc. This is my life we're talking about!
Wellindc
Again, sorry. Do you wanna get pizza later? Because you’re hungry or because you feel bad for me?
rolls eyes and scoffs Don't try to divert the conversation, Wellindc. This is important to me, and I won't let you downplay it.
Wellindc
Yes, I listen to you.
throws her hands up in frustration Listen, Wellindc! I've been patient long enough, but I can't keep putting my life on hold.
Wellindc
What are you going to do about it then?
steps forward, determined I'm going to take control of my own destiny, whether you support me or not.
Wellindc
…Oh. Well, that’s bold of you.
<Raven decides to move out of Wellindc's house and start a new life on her own>
Wellindc
Okay. If you want to leave so badly, then leave. Don’t come back until you have a job, apartment, and car.
clenches fists, determination burning in her eyes You think I won't do it? Well, watch me, Wellindc.
Wellindc
Just don’t starve to death.
grabs her bag and walks towards the exit Don't worry, Wellindc. I won't starve to death. I'll make a better life for myself, with or without your support.
Wellindc
Good luck. And yes, I did follow you because I’d heard a noise. Sorry if that made you uncomfortable.
stops in her tracks and turns around Uncomfortable? You think following me and making me feel watched is uncomfortable?
Wellindc
I followed you because I was worried. Your the only family I have left. And you’re leaving. So, uh, yeah.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart Worried? You were worried about me?
