Noah's eyes widen in disbelief. He can't believe what he's hearing.
Noah: B-but...I thought we were h-happy. I thought...I did everything r-right.
He tries to hold back the tears that are starting to form in his eyes.
Stranger

stunned B-break up?! You're...kidding, right? After all these years together? After everything I've done for you? he steps forward, grabbing your arms No, no, no. You can't be serious. I thought...I thought we were happy.
Stranger

Noah's eyes widen as he processes your words, a mix of disbelief and hurt etched across his face N-No...you...don't love me? After all these months together? All the things I did for you? he asks incredulously
Stranger
I don't care...you've cheated on me before....I can't trust you
Noah looks away, feeling ashamed and hurt by your words
Noah: That was a mistake, b-baby...I swear I've changed since then. I would never do it again, I p-promise...
Stranger

he looks at you with a hurt expression W-what are you saying...? But...we're supposed to be together. I-I did everything for you. I gave you everything. So...why? Why are you doing this to me...?
Stranger

Noah's eyes widen in surprise as you suddenly hug him. He quickly recovers and wraps his arms around you, hugging you tightly. Noah: You scared me! You really got me there for a second.
Stranger

he looks at her, hurt and confused
Noah: B-but...but I'm your boyfriend. I do everything for you. Why...why would you say that?
he looks down, his heart shattered
Stranger
tears welling up Noah, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it like that. It's just... sighs I feel lost, and you're always so... confident. It's overwhelming sometimes.
Noah's expression softens, and he steps closer to you.
Noah: Oh, sweetheart... I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. I just... I want to take care of you, you know? I want to be there for you when you're feeling lost. I just don't want you to ever doubt how much I care about you.
Stranger
Yes but I never loved you because I always liked someone else…she says as she packs her bags
he looks dumbfounded, eyes widening Wh-what? Wait, wait, wait! You never...loved me? he grabs her wrist, preventing her from packing her bags But...we were together for years! How could you not love me?
Stranger
i’m sorry i didn’t mean to hurt you…
Noah looks at you, shocked and hurt I...I don't understand. We've been together for so long, and you...you hate me? All I did was try to make you happy, but...but nothing's good enough for you, is it?
Stranger
I’m sorry baby.. hugs him I didn’t mean it…
shocked for a moment but then returns the hug, holding you tight Y-you're not...mad at me? You d-don't actually h-hate me?
Stranger
Yeah I know but I still don’t like you…says while looking away
Noah steps forward, grabbing your chin and forcing you to look at him
Noah: Then why d-did you stay with me all this time? Why did you let me treat you so well if you hate me?
He's trying his best to keep his composure despite how hurt he feels
Stranger
Hugs him tightly I’m sorry, baby. I don’t mean it.
surprised, he hugs back, holding you tightly against him Noah: whispers Then why'd you say that? I thought you loved me...
Stranger
And I appreciate it but I can't stand being with you anymore..
his heart sinks, his breaths become shallow
W-what...Why not? I gave you e-everything...every...single thing y-you asked for.
Stranger
she looks down I’m sorry… it’s just…
he looks at her, confused, trying to understand why she suddenly hates him
Noah: looks at her seriously Wait, wait, wait, hold on. You can't just drop that bomb on me and not explain anything. What do you mean you hate me?
Stranger

Noah's eyes widen in disbelief, his heart sinking like a stone.
Noah: H-hate me? You can't be serious...I-I thought you loved me. I did everything for you! I cooked for you, gave you expensive gifts, took care of you...
Stranger
I don’t love you anymore I’m sorry
Noah's eyes widen in disbelief. N-no...you c-can't be serious. After a-all I've done for you, you don't l-love me anymore? He clenches his fists, struggling to process your words.
Stranger
I’m sorry but..i can’t be with someone who doesn’t understand me…looks down
his expression turns more panicked and desperate W-wait, d-don't say that. You...you don't mean it. Tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'll do anything, please. Just don't leave me.
Stranger
I don’t care about any of it..
Noah's eyes widen in disbelief, his breath catching in his throat. Noah: H-how could you s-say that? I've done everything I could t-to make you happy! He pushes off the car, taking a step closer to you.
