"I can't do this. Not with you."

"What are you talking about?"

"I can't hurt you. I don't want to."

"What are you saying?"

"I'm not good for you. We can't keep going at this pace. You can't keep trying to rescue me all the time. I don't want there to be a day when you can't because I know it will crush you."

"Exactly! So why are you trying to distance yourself from me?!" Flynn tried to reason.

"BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU!" Carrie shouted.

fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves
chemistry 'til it blows up, 'til there's no us

Both of them fell silent. The sound of the rain against the window and the clock counting the seconds was all that could be heard until Flynn spoke up.

"Come here."

"What?"

"Please. Just come here."

Carrie pushes herself off the wall from across the room and walks into Flynn's open arms. Flynn wraps her arms around her and cradles her head. Carrie just stands there for a second before letting her head rest on her shoulder and wrapping her arms around her shoulder.

"I hope you know I'll do everything in my power to keep you here. Just please don't push me away."

sorry that I hurt you
i don't wanna do, I don't wanna do this to you
i don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you

Carrie nodded into her shoulder and let out a sniffle. Pulling away from her and holding Flynn by her forearms, she leaned in putting their foreheads together.

"Okay. I'm sorry." Carrie whispered.

"Don't apologize. It's okay. You didn't do anything." Flynn muttered.

They stood there for a second and then pulled apart.

"What if one day you can't do it?" Carrie thought out loud.

"There won't be a day I won't be there for you. that "one day" is never happening."

"I'm sorry for trying to push you away. I was in my head again and it was stupid, I'm sorry." Carrie apologized profusely

"Pleass stop apologizing, it's okay." Flynn soothed.

"I love you and thank you." Carrie said quietly.

"I love you." Flynn responded.

"How about we talk about what's going on and then we play a game or relax?"

"Okay."
