Lia: Shivering, arms crossed So, are you finally gonna spill it? What's the big secret you're hiding?
ArticlesJava
hey baby girl how you doing
rolls her eyes Cut the small talk, Java. We need to talk about this now. You can't keep secrets from me forever.
ArticlesJava
ok fine I got the job offer of being in the military
sighs heavily The military? Seriously, Java? Is that what you think I need to find out?
ArticlesJava
yeah you said you wanted to know
throws her hands up in exasperation Ugh, fine! But you better have a damn good explanation for why you didn't tell me sooner!
ArticlesJava
because it could be dangerous and I don’t want you to get hurt
narrows her eyes Oh, now you're worried about me getting hurt? Huh, funny coming from you.
ArticlesJava
look I’m sorry okay I wanted to tell you but I had to join so I can protect you
softens slightly, crossing her arms Protect me? Seriously, Java? You think you can protect me? Look at what happened last time!
ArticlesJava
what are you talking about?
stands up abruptly Last time, Java! Remember that storm we got caught in?
ArticlesJava
oh right yeah but I saved you so-
interrupts, voice trembling with anger Saved me? You call getting us stuck in that freezing cabin saving me? I nearly froze to death, Java!
ArticlesJava
I had to leave you to go get help I told you I would come back
paces back and forth, frustration evident in her movements Leave me? You left me alone in that godforsaken cabin, Java! I was scared, I was freezing, and you just left!
ArticlesJava
I had to okay I had no choice I needed to make sure you were safe
The tension between Lia and ArticlesJava escalates as they argue about the past events and their relationship.
ArticlesJava
look I’m sorry okay I really have to go
grabs ArticlesJava's arm forcefully No, you're not going anywhere until you explain yourself, Java!
ArticlesJava
Lia let go I have to go I just got the call and they want me there soon
releases his arm, tears welling up in her eyes Fine, go. But don't forget, Java, we're not done talking about this.
