❛ funny, i didn’t think the humility required to ask for help when you need it was included in the second generation dan scott skill set. ❜ and there it goes, another effortless, venom-packed bitter remark, flying out her mouth like a bullet aiming at her target — was this how deb felt all those years living with dan? stuck in a vicious never-ending cycle of who can hurt eachother worse? because if it was, it terrified haley to think she’d wound up in her same position, twenty years later. it terrified her thinking there was nothing she could do to prevent history from repeating itself, specially after everything they’d been through and all the steps they’d so carefully taken in the opposite direction, TOWARDS TRUE AND COMMITTED PARTNERSHIP. where’d all that go? a frustrated sigh leaves haley’s lips as she turns to look at her husband ( @bentrule ), or the shell that was left of him, ❛ aren’t you tired of this, nathan? the petty cheap shots, the relentless and bitter search for just the right words to push eachother’s buttons? ‘cause i am, i’m really, really tired of it, and i’m ready for it to end, so — what’s it gonna take? what’s it gonna take for you to stop licking your wounds, drowning your sorrows in alcohol and god knows what else and start sucking it up? is it me leaving, is it losing jamie because — you keep up with this, nathan, and i assure you, you’ll get what you wished for sooner than later. ❜
