“ you have to talk to someone, eventually. it doesn’t have to be me, but. you need to. ”
“ i’m not leaving until you tell me what’s going on. ”
“ you may like to pretend, but i don’t. something is wrong and you’re hiding it from me. ”
“ you can’t even say that and look me in the eyes. you’re clearly lying. just tell me the truth. ”
“ everyone else might be buying it, but i don’t. what’s wrong? ”
“ you’re not fine. you’re clearly not fine. and you don’t have to keep saying that you are. ”
“ you can talk to me, you know. whatever you have to say, i’m not gonna judge you or do anything. i just want to listen. ”
“ you can’t run away from this forever. ”
“ i can’t keep acting like i don’t see something is wrong with you. ”
“ you keep acting like if you let down your guard the world will end. ”
“ stop brushing me off. i know something is going on. ”
“ hey— look at me. you can talk to me. ”
“ i don’t know if you think you’re being strong or protecting me, but i don’t need you to keep painting on smiles when you’re clearly upset. ”
“ why don’t you trust me enough to let me in? ”
“ you think if you run around taking care of everyone else, no one will notice you’re falling apart. ”
“ you keep acting like you’re looking for an excuse to leave. ”
“ stop. just stop trying to avoid this. shutting me out isn’t going to fix the problem. ”
“ you do realize you don’t have to do this alone right? ”
“ you think you’re handling this on your own but you’re not. that’s not how it works when the people who care about you can see you’re suffering but refusing to ask for help. ”
“ you don’t get a choice this time. i’m helping you. ”
“ why do you keep lying to me like i don’t know ever time you try it? ”
“ i don’t know why you seem to think you have to hide your pain. ”
“ i don’t know why you thought i wasn’t going to notice. but i see right through you. ”
“ i know you’re having nightmares again. ”
“ why are you acting like this? ”
“ don’t change the subject. i saw you crying. ”
“ what the hell is wrong with you? ”
“ just tell me what the fuck the problem is? ”
“ did you just flinch away from me? ”
“ i trusted you. why can’t you trust me too? ”
