"Jared?"
"Hm?"
"Why are we out here?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why are we outside?"
"Do you not like being outside?"
"Shut up or I'm leaving."
"Nooo, I'm sorryyyy."
"Mhm. Sure."
"Rude."
"You're rude."
"I know."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"
"No I get it, I'm an asshole to everyone. I know, I'm not oblivious of my actions."
"Do you know why?"
"Why am I a complete jerk to everyone?"
"Yeah."
"Well, when I was younger, it was just me and my dad. He was a pretty good dad, he paid attention to me, I knew he loved me, he never hurt me so it was good. Then he came home one day with a woman, he was abusing her. Of course I didn't know at the time because I was like 6, but he hit her. I ran up to him and pushed him, of course not that hard. He pushed me on the floor and told me, 'don't show emotions, and you won't get hurt'."
"Wow... I'm so sorry..."
"Eh, he was a douche. He took my game boy once."
"Jared..."
"No I know, I know."
"He's not here right now, you can do whatever you want. You are your own person, if you want to show emotions then fine, show them. If you don't that's also fine, but you shouldn't put others down when they do. We're all people, we're only human. You can't expect much from us..."
"Exactly, so why can't I keep everything to myself? You can't expect me to do everything you say."
"That's not what-"
"Of course, I'm always wrong..."
"... remember in grade school when Sallie stepped on a flower I found and I swore I would hate her for the rest of my life?"
"Heh... yeah."
"I'm not mad at her anymore, I let it go. I don't hold grudges for stupid reasons. Then I would be wasting all my time on the wrong people."
"Wrong people?"
"Yeah... wrong people. Why would I be angry with someone when I could love someone else?"
"... you love someone?"
"Duh."
"Who-"
"My mom."
"Well played."
"You love anyone?"
"... yeah. Yeah I do..."
"Who?"
"... it's not important."
"Oh c'mon. Everyone deserves love, they need it."
"Not me."
"Now that's a lie."
"What are you going on about?"
"You need love, you want it."
"No I don't."
"Yes, you do. You can't live a life without knowing someone appreciates your existence and wouldn't mind being a part of it every day. You want someone to hold when things go wrong. You want someone to call at 3am when you can't sleep. You want that same person to still be there when you wake up so that pit in your chest can finally be filled. You have always been a loner, you don't have to be anymore."
"... are you a therapist or something?"
"Nah, I just want to help the people I love."
"You love me?"
"Of course I do. You're not the only one who needs it..."
"... I love you too."
"I know."
"How?"
"You literally said you loved someone a minute ago now who else would that be? You're a goofball sometimes, I swear."
"Meanie."
"Mhm. Love you Jare."
"Love you too, Ev."
