Night: *stops, running a hand through his hair*
Coen: because no matter how toxic she was, no matter what she did to me she was there when no one was when I truly had no one! You may think that I always had people Someone but it's not true night there was a long time when I had nobody, no friends, no family to talk to, nothing just silent. But she was there she talked to me, she hung out with me. She was my only Friend for years because everyone else hated me Night
Night: she was never your friend Coen
Coen: I know believe me, but that doesn't stop the hurt, the pain that doesn't make it go away, it makes it worse because I trusted her with everything and she ripped it out of me she used it against me that's why I cried for a year
Night: *looks at him*
Coen: please night don't be mad, don't hate me. I can't lose you of all people, I need you!
