The Relationship Drama

Park Problems

      As the two arrive at the park, they see a bench open. They head over and sit down. Aphmau looks around enjoying the atmosphere. Apollo admires her and smiles.
Apollo: You really love nature, eh?
Aph: I love it! It's so beautiful!
Apollo: *smiles and looks at her* Heh..not as beautiful as you.
Aph: *turns to look at him and blushes a bit* Aww..t-thanks..That was really sweet.
Apollo: *grabs her hand* I try. Hey, look at the fountain! It's changing colors.
Aph: Hm? *turns to look at it* *holds his hand and runs towards it, pulling him along* Woah! It's so cool!
Apollo: Sheesh, Aph. You're really fast. And you have a strong pull. *laughs*
Aph: Got a problem? I thought you were supposed to be strong *smirks and giggles*
Apollo: Oh haha (sarcasm). But I understand, the fountain is really cool.
Aph: Could we..maybe get a picture in front of it..? I mean we don't have to if you don't want to, I understand if you do-
Apollo: Aphmau, I would love to get a picture in front of it.
Aph: *smiles and pulls out her phone* *takes a picture of the two of them* There! Here's a day to remember!
Apollo: *looks at it and smiles* Yup, definitely! Want to go back to the bench?
Aph: Oh, sure. Let's sit and observe some things!
           *they sit down on the bench*
Aph: *looks around and sees Garroth* Huh..? Oh hey, look! Garroth's here.
Apollo: Did you invite him?
Aph: No, but he's here. I'm gonna go say hi, okay?
Apollo: *smiles* Yup! Of course. I'll wait for you here and keep our spot.
*she walks up to Garroth*
Aph: Hey, Garroth! I wasn't expecting to see you here!
Garroth: Hm? Oh hello, Aphmau! I wasn't expecting to see you either! How are you?
Aph: I'm great! Actually, I'm here with Apollo. How are you?
Garroth: I'm good. Hey, I've been wanting to talk to you about something. Can you follow me?
Aph: Huh..? Uh..sure. *holds up her pointer finger to Apollo, signaling that she'll be right back in a moment* What is it, Garroth? Is everything okay?
Garroth: *looks at her* Everything is fine. It's just..whenever you're with Apollo..I get jealous..
Aph: Huh..? What? Why would you get jealous? We're engaged..
Garroth: Exactly..you two are engaged..that means I can't have you..
Aph: Garroth..what are you trying to say?
Garroth: Aphmau, I..I love you! I always have! But..when I see you with him..it reminds me how much I love you..and want you to be with me..I regret never telling you my feelings..
Aph: Garroth...I..I don't know what to say..I..
Garroth: Shh..don't say anything..
                           *he kisses her*
Aph: *pushes him off* Garroth! What the heck?! I'm engaged! I can't be doing this..*turns to run off*
Garroth: Wait! *grabs her arm* I'm sorry! I just..got caught up and wanted to kiss you..
Aph: Garroth..I'm engaged..I can't do this..I need to think about what just happened..*shakes his hand off and walks away*
Garroth: Why did I just do that..?! What's wrong with me...? She's engaged..but I love her..but she's engaged..GAH!
            *she walks back to the bench*
Apollo: Aphmau..? Are you okay? You look..flustered..you don't look good.
Aph: *looks at him and then looks down* *she sits on the bench and keeps looking down* *doesn't answer*
Apollo: Aphmau..? Are you okay? *puts his hand on her back*
Aph: -in mind- I can't tell him..he'll kill Garroth..but I can't hide it either..he'll end up figuring it out..what do I do..?
Apollo: Hey? Can you hear me?
Aph: Huh...? uh..y-yea. I'm okay. Just..uh..st-stomach hurts..
Apollo: You want to go home? We can leave early if you don't feel good.
Aph: *puts her head on his shoulder* O-Okay..
Apollo: *feels her forehead* You feel hot. We should get you home.
Aph: O-Okay..let's g-go..
Apollo: *gets up and wraps his arm around her* *making sure she won't pass out or anything*
