I Love You

2 Apr, 2021

A: Chris and Liam

1:00pm

Liam was Bojan's right hand man now. This was a big responsibility. It was okay. He told himself he'd make him proud. Chris dying wouldn't be for nothing. He was Liam's only love, but him dying was worth it. It preserved the loop. It was allowing Bojan and the rest of us to proceed in our plan for salvation. I love him.

He - loved him.

B: Andre and Bunny

1:00pm

"Hey, Andre?" Bunny called. "Can you come here, I need to ask you something"

"Yeah?" Andre asked as he entered.

"I - am - pregnant." She said slowly.

"What?" He exclaimed. "But I thought-"

"It's not yours." She sighed.

"Oh." Andre's face dropped.

"A couple months ago, Felucca and I were a thing," Bunny explained. "We're not anymore, he's a fucking jerk. But we were, and I have his kid."

"And you got us to fuck with a baby in your fuckng stomach?" He yelled.

"Andre, please - I"

"Fucking don't even bother!" he shouted before storming off, out of the house.

C: Mary and Phy

1:00pm

Mary finally came out of the bathroom, and Phy looked her in the eye. There were a few seconds of silence - the calm before the storm.

"You fucking piece of shit." She eventually eked out.

"What?" Phy responded.

"You know fucking well what," she panted. "You fucking cheating piece of shit!"

"Oh," he understood. "Listen, Mary, I can explain."

"What the actual fuck is wrong with you?"

"Mary-"

"Just tell me this," she panted. "Why'd you kick Liam out? Either you were being a fucking hypocritical piece of shit, or there was some other reason."

"Mary, please, just calm down-"

"NO! Shut the fuck up, Phy!" She shrieked. "Answer my fucking question!"

"I," He stammered. "I - it had to do with Chris."

"What, is it because he was black?!"

"No, I-"

"Then why the fuck was it, Phy?"

There was silence for a few seconds, and they were left in the anger of their breathing.

"Way back when, I didn't tell you. I didn't think you'd need to know," He began. "It's about Phil. He - he ended up with Shona's friend, you know the blonde one?"

"What in the fuck does this have to do with anything?!" She questioned.

"Anyway, because Phil couldn't have kids, they had to adopt. Chris is his kid."

There was silence yet again, and Mary collapsed onto the couch. Her pants were audible even through her hands that now covered her face. Phy sat down beside her, and rested his head on her shoulder.
