Alexandra was still sitting on the couch in their living room (the living room across from the stairs) with a glass of wine and her cell phone on the table. She heard Aubrey walk in looking for her and when he found her in the living room, he tried to come and sit beside her but Alexandra got up. Aubrey grabbed her arm.
Aubrey: Look, I know I over reacted. We were both being selfish and...I just don't know how to process everything. This has kind of never happened to me. (Holding Alexandra's arms) I felt like something was being taken from me. But I realized I was taking something from me by accusing you of that.
Alexandra (Rolling her eyes): What were you taking from yourself?
Aubrey: You.
Alexandra wasn't gonna let Aubrey off this time. She felt like he could say whatever and it would make things better. She wanted a little more credit in their relationship. Alexandra pulled away from him, angrily.
Alexandra: No. You don't trust me. You made it seem like I'm always lying when I was trying to be honest with you. I've always tried to be honest with you and you doubt me. Why the fuck did you doubt me?!
Alexandra pushed him away in tears. She hated herself for always tearing up around Aubrey. He brought out some dumb, vulnerable side of Alexandra that she disliked so much and tried to repress for years. It irritated her. He irritated her. And this was the most selfish she's ever seen Aubrey. It was something so different and so disgusting that she lost her cool.
Alexandra (Fighting Aubrey): I hate you! I hate you! I wish I never met you!
Aubrey held down Alexandra's arms and hugged her. He started to get emotional but managed to not cry. He doesn't cry. He didn't need to cry. Alexandra cried in Aubrey's arms.
Alexandra: I wanted this to happen. I was open to it happening. But this wasn't the right time. But you know I would've kept it. You know I would've have done anything to mess us up. But you didn't believe me.
Aubrey hugged Alexandra as tight as he could.
Aubrey: I'm sorry. And I know it's not good enough but I'm so sorry, Alex.
That wasn't good enough but Alexandra didn't want to pull away from Aubrey. She still wanted his comfort even though she didn't want to see his face. It was all so confusing for both of them. They both had the same thoughts: Should I be excited? Is this supposed to be a blessing? Why am I being so selfish? Alexandra and Aubrey spent the night in the living room on the couch. There was a blanket on the back of it so they used it to cover up as they talked and then eventually went to sleep. Alexandra woke up on top of Aubrey as he was still sleeping. When she got up and began to go upstairs, he woke up and sat up.
Aubrey: We need to talk, Alex.
Alexandra turned around and walked back to the couch. She sat beside him as he moved the blanket to the other side of the couch.
Alexandra: About what?
Aubrey: Us.
Alexandra: But we constantly talk. We always try to fix whatever's wrong with us and it never works. You can't fix what's impossible to do so.
Aubrey: Nothing good is gonna come out of us if we don't try.
Alexandra: So what's gonna happen?
Aubrey: I'm here. I don't have all the time in the world but I spend all my time that I can with you. You wear that ring on your finger for a reason.
Alexandra and Aubrey shared a look. She just couldn't shake that feeling though. It ate at her just a little.
Aubrey: Don't let what happened in New York eat at you. I was stupid, I was an asshole. I shouldn't have said anything especially in the way I said it.
