Check out an upcoming scene that takes place between these two former flames following an intense encounter in which one or more truths have been revealed:
A smile inched up the corners of his mouth, but in no way was
he thrilled with what she had to say. “Don’t play the victim here, V, alright?
Nobody’s an innocent in this mess that we’ve all created for ourselves and each
other.”
“I’m not playing a victim of anything,” she snapped. “And I
wouldn’t dare say that we all created
this mess. I’d say that you and Sheila created it like you do everything else
and dragged us right along for the ride which leads straight down to hell.”
“That’s bullshit, Vanessa.” He sighed.
“No actually, it’s not bullshit, Nate. In fact, it’s far from it. My life was a hell of a lot
easier, and so much simpler without the two of you back in it, mucking it up as
usual. I don’t know how many times I have to say this before it finally sinks
into your thick as hell skull, but you two haven’t even been back a year yet
and look at all of the destruction you continue to leave behind in your
wreckage.” She took his hand and wiped it down again with the cloth. Then
grabbed a large, white bandage to tape down over the cuts. “You and Sheila are
like two tornadoes who go out of their way colliding into everyone else except
for each other.”
He looked into her dark brown eyes, those same dark brown eyes
that he would do anything for, even now, even in his anger, and swallowed hard.
“Colliding into each other is what got us here, V.”
As he reached up for her face with his other hand, she jerked
herself away and shoved his hand back.
“Yeah, it got us miserable like always. Maurice was right, I
can’t think of a single time you and I were together when you actually made me
happy. God only knows what the hell I was hanging onto for so many years. I think
part of me just thought I’d never actually find anyone else to put up with my
shit like you could. But who the hell knew you’d give it right back to me ten-fold
for years to come? Even apart, you manage to turn my world upside down, inside
out and I always seem to come out the worse for it. You are like a human wrecking
ball and I’m sick and tired as hell of you always swinging that thing into every
wall I’ve built up with my bare hands to keep you out.”
