You go home and you get Sam

How would you feel about a vacation? Me and you?

Sam: what about dad?
You: forget about him
Sam: alright.
Madison: woah! Don't you think that's a little far.
You: what?
Madison: taking him on vacation.
You: no. He's my son and I'll do what I please.
Madison: don't get cheeky with me!?
You: my bad.

Josh appears in your doorway.
You: what the fuck are you doing here?
Josh: hear me out.
You: one minute.
While he talks you pack.
Once he's done he finally realizes: where you going?
You: vacation.
Josh: are you taking Sam?
You: of course. Who am I gonna leave him with?
Josh: there's literally was than a week till the wedding
You: we aren't actually going.
Sam: why not?
You: I'm sorry baby.
Josh picks up a bag he dropped and hands it to you.
You: what this?
Josh: look inside. 
You check inside and see wrapped presents.
Josh: these are week of wedding presents. Also a lil apology.

You open one and it's a collage of the two of you. You smile as you look over it.
Josh: do you like it?
You: I love it.

There's a note attached.

Hi. I messed up. I know that. But I don't wanna lose you. Sometimes I lose control of trying to impress the people around me. This was one of those times. I love you so much and I'm sorry. It's funny how many times I'll say sorry and then do something more extreme. I hate this about me. I hate that I hurt you all the time. If you wanna end it I won't blame you. Hell you deserve someone better than me. I'm stupid and not worthy of you. I hate that I make even a single tear fall down your face. I hate that you hate me. I hate that we used to be crazy in love with each other. And now it's the opposite. I'm in love with you but you aren't.  I would sacrifice everything to be with you. I'm sorry.

You look at him: I've never hated you in my life
