âIf you really cared about me, youâd do what Iâm asking.â âDonât you trust me?â âI wish I never met you, honestly.â âYouâre the reason Iâm upset.â âItâs all your fault.â âI guess you just donât love me enough.â âYou have to keep it a secret. Iâll find out if you tell anyone.â âWhatever. Itâs not like I care.â âI could just leave, you know.â âDo you like them more than me?â âWho have you been talking to?â âI would do anything to make you happy, I just want you to do the same for me.â âYou have to tell me. Not telling me is just as bad as lying.â âIt would be so easy for me to find someone else.â âIf you loved me, youâd tell me.â âItâs like you donât even care about me.â âOne day Iâll be dead and youâll regret not being there when I needed it.â âNobody really cares about me, not even you.â âNo one will ever love you the way I do.â âIf you leave me, I donât want to even think about what Iâll do.â âIâll just tell everyone you were abusing me.â âYou have to. You owe me.â âIâve made sacrifices for you, now you have to do the same.â âIâll never forgive you.â âNo, itâs fine. Just do whatever you want, I guess.â âAm I upset? Why, should I be?â âIf you donât come over tonight, Iâm going to hurt myself.â âI never said that. Youâre trying to confuse me.â âI think you hate me.â âI would do anything for you, so why wouldnât you do the same?â âIf you donât do this, itâs because you donât love me.â âYou were there for them, but not me?â âYes, if you love me, you would change for me.â âIâm wasting my time with you.â âWell, I guess Iâm just useless, arenât I?â âI know you didnât say it, but you were thinking it.â âYou hate me. I know you do.â âYou canât convince me Iâm not just a burden to you.â
