'My mistake, I didn't know to be in love you had to fight for the upper hand' - White Horse, Taylor Swift.
"..And you're just always holding onto everything! Let go. Fucking let me achieve something for once! Trust me when I say I'll manage it! Fucking let me TRY!"
"You fail each time. I can't trust you if you're gonna keep failing to succeed. I have to do it all myself because you just can't do it." He almost sneered at her. "We're meant to be a couple! Me and you, together!"
"How can we be 'together', if I'm the only one making the effort?"
"I'm trying! But you won't let me! You shit me down." She was almost hysterical now, sobbing, fighting the urge to ask him to just hold her whilst she cried into his chest. "I can't afford your mistakes. You'll ruin all that I worked for."
"Stop. Stop, you're hurting me."
"Good. Maybe you'll see then that what you are? Everything that you do? Just doesn't compare to me." She froze, the cry stopping in her throat. "We're meant to be EQUAL. You don't date someone to be better than them Jesse! You date them and work with them. That's why it's a couple.." He turned away from her, his face distorting with distaste. "End of discussion." She scoffed, disgusted now. "My mistake. I didn't know to be in love you had to fight for the upper hand." And then, stepping up in front of him, and staring square into his eyes, she whispered, "End of relationship." and watched the way his face fell.
