"I'll try..."
Katie replies.
Ellie wipes the tears off her face with her shirt, still looking devastated.
"Don't just try, please promise me. I can't stand to think about what it would do to me if you died... Just please, promise me you won't do this ever again. I can't lose you... I won't be able to handle it..."
"What about us?" Katie asks scared.
Ellie shakes her head.
"I don't know yet... You know how much I want to take you back right now, but I'm scared things will go wrong again. Because if they do, then I don't think I could handle it again.
But... I don't think I can't let you go for good either. I want to be with you, but if that's not possible, I at least don't want to lose you... does that make any sense at all?"
"I don't know..."
Katie says.
Ellie pauses for a moment.
"God, I'm such a terrible girlfriend... I have no idea what to say right now. I don't want to hurt you anymore than I already have... but I'm scared that if we do get back together, we'll always get into arguments and I'll keep saying awful things, and you'll keep hurting yourself..."
"You should just let go of me that's easier for the both of us..."
Katie says with pain in her voice.
Ellie pauses for a moment.
"But... but I don't want to. I don't wanna lose you, and I don't want to let go either. Not like this..."
"But it will be easier..."
Ellie pauses for a second and thinks about that.
"Maybe it would be... if this keeps happening to us over and over again, maybe that would be the right thing to do... but I just don't want to lose you. And even if it were easier for the both of us, I still just don't want to let you go..."
"Its for the best..."
Katie says with tears in her eyes.
Ellie looks down again and her voice starts to break. This is just too much for her to handle.
"But that's just... that's just heartbreaking... how can I let you go? I don't want to... I just don't... You mean so much to me, no matter what we're doing I couldn't imagine my life without you in it. This is so terrible... what am I supposed to do?"
"I don't know... but it will be better to just let go..."
Katie tells her.
Ellie shakes her head.
"No... no, I'm not doing that. Maybe it would be the right thing to do, but I still don't want to. I want to stay with you, even if it keeps hurting both of us I want to stay."
"One more night...?"
Katie asks.
Ellie is completely shocked by this, almost speechless. She opens her mouth to speak, but can't seem to form the words.
"Last night..? What do you mean by that? Are you... asking for us to get back together? Would we even be able to do that? Would it work out...?"
"No, I'm saying one more night that we spend together then we will let eachother go forever..."
Katie says this with pain in her voice.
Ellie can hardly believe what she's hearing.
"One... one more night...? Like... would we be together for just the night and then we break up for good...?
Katie nods with pain in her eyes.
Ellie is speechless for a few seconds*
"But... but why..? Are you sure you want that? I mean, I won't fight you on this anymore, but are you really sure you want to give it one final shot before we say goodbye for good?"
"It will be for the best..."
Ellie sighs and closes her eyes.
"Then... I guess one night won't hurt then. We won't talk about anything we don't need to and just make the most of being together one last time?"
"Yess..."
Katie replies.
Ellie opens her eyes and nods.
"Okay then... I don't see why not. Just one more night."
One more night.
