|Crystal's place|

Crystal was chilling on her couch watching Netflix and waiting on her doordash order to arrive because she was not in the mood to cook dinner

Knock knock knock

Crystal opens the door without asking who it is because she thought her food had arrived

Josh: [smiles] hey beautiful

Crystal: [bored] hey

Josh: ouch! I thought you'd at least be a little excited to see me

Crystal: well I'm not, so say what you came to say and leave

Josh: I can't even get invited in?

Crystal: nope

Josh: [sighs] you know what I don't think this gon work. Clearly you're still upset and I can't talk to you when you're like this [turns to leave]

Crystal: [sighs] Josh wait

Josh: [turns back around]

Crystal: [opens the door wider] come in

-closed the door-

Crystal: I'm sorry about my attitude I just haven't eaten all day so I'm a lil cranky

Josh: [chuckles] you should've told me to bring you some food!! I know better than anyone how you get when you're hungry

Crystal: [chuckles] okay ntm!! I'm still mad at you

Josh: [sighs] I know, but at least let me order you some food?

Crystal: nah that's not necessary, I already did. My order is about 5min away... which is all the time you'll need to say your piece and bounce

Josh: okay... let me start by saying sorry
Sometimes I take your heart for granted
You can be the star in my universe
If I just took time to pl-

Crystal: [stops him] don't I know this song?

Josh: [chuckles] yeah you do, it's from my favorite album 'A muse in her feelings'

Crystal: [smiles] that's very sweet Josh but you're wasting your 5min on bull shit

Josh: okay okay I'm being fr now. Baby I'm truly sorry about everything that transpired! You were 100% right about me having trust issues, I never should've read that script and violated your personal space. I'm also very sorry for disappearing but I want you to know that during that time I started therapy so I needed to isolate myself so I could come back a better man for you! I know I fucked up and I understand if you never wanna see or talk to me again.

Crystal: are you done?

Josh: yeah

Crystal: okay, you can leave

Josh: [teary-eyed] so that's it?

Crystal: wtf do you want me to say Josh? You told me you're coming here to be honest and this is the best you could come up with?

Josh: baby what do you want from me? I'll do anything, just please don't leave me

Crystal: I want to know why you did what you did

Josh: baby I just told you why

Crystal: no you didn't, you just apologized but I can't accept your apology until I know why!! Do you even comprehend what you did? Not only did you disrespect my personal space, you also accused me of being a hoe who can't stay loyal to her man! [Crying] Joshua you accused me of doing the unthinkable even though I assured you daily that nobody had my heart but you. Why?!
