-I noticed that. That's why I am being careful with you here.
-...I understand that; in fact it's more of a sensible thing to do.
-Even now when we get to spend some time together, Jerry managed to stay away, stay busy. I feel like...so powerless. Something you probably won't be familiar with. He's running around doing the job you're supposed to be doing.
-Believe me, (sighs)I know what it means to be powerless. To be someone who isn't capable of doing anything for people she admires. I am sorry but I know this as much as you do; you can't stop a person from being a furious hero or incredibly stupid. The morale is only yours to decide. All I can do is...apologise to you.
-Is that so? Then tell me, do you want us to end up like you? What do you think a guy with a five year old should be doing on a day like this? You saw his workplace. He rarely gets a day off.
-Listen both Jerry and Jane should be back anytime now.
-That's your answer?
-(Sighs)Layla you have a life ahead. Don't forget to give yourself a little credit sometime. Jerry is a good guy and, one of the best friends I've ever had although we've just met. He is only one now anyway.
-...
-You know him better, I am sure he trusts you more.
-Give me an answer.
-You know Layla, it's getting late. I gotta go now.
-..Listen Ms. Inspector!
-Selina Johnson.
-Selina huh? Then listen Sel. I love Jerry. I am being myself.
-Yes. I can tell.
-No I don't think you can. Not now. Just promise me that you won't hurt him or worse.
-You don't have to worry about that. I won't let Jane go through anything of that sort. That is the only answer I have for you now.
-How could you be so sure about it?
-Because I have someone to protect too! Because there's not a single fucking day in my life without regrets, guilt, sorrow consuming me...I am not even welcomed by anyone, not without giving something in return.
-(Sighs)
-But that man of yours didn't take any advantage, didn't force himself on me when I was most vulnerable. Instead I am the one who caused him nothing but trouble. Jane was no different from her Dad. I owe both of them. It's everything you will get from me.
-...I won't say I know your side of this story. But what you said about those two persons were true.
-Yeah. Can I leave now?
-Wait! Sel? Listen! I know you're in a hurry. I have heard what happened at the bar. Selina please?
-I don't want to waste any more of our time. We've talked enough, it's getting annoying.
-Sorry. Could you give me your number? Let's meet up again. Two of us?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
