Broken Promises
"Is there a reason you're avoiding me?"
"I don't know what you mean by that."
"Right. You know exactly what I mean."
"If you're going to pick a fight with me, then you can just forget about me going out with you. Or did you already forget? I heard that you had yourself a little date the other night."
"Your uncle's in the hospital, and all you're worried about is me going out with someone else? I thought you weren't that shallow."
"Don't bring him into this! I spend at least two hours with him every day AND continually volunteer at that pitiful corner store he calls a super market. I can't believe you'd try to pin this all on me. But what am I supposed to expect from a druggie?"
"Would you shut up? It's been a year! I'm not going back to that."
"Well, obviously your morals are still mixed up if you think I'm going to just accept the fact that you ask me out, and then turn around and gallivant off with a girl you met by chance. I'm not going to wait for you forever, Jamie."
"Would it help to say that I'm sorry?"
"No, it wouldn't. And even if I still wanted to go out with you, I wouldn't. The police are still trying to figure out that burglary."
"Your point?"
"Would it look very good for the niece of one of the victims to be seen with a possible suspect with a track record in drugs?"
"Who cares? It's not like I did it."
"I'm not saying you did. I'm saying that my uncle is a little bit more important at the moment."
"Is that what you're saying? That I don't matter?"
"Why would you care if it was? It seems to me all you care about is adding another dimwitted girl to your list of hook-ups!"
*silence*
"Cathy…are you scared of me?"
"Don't be an idiot."
"Are you scared of me?"
"…Yes."
"Cathy…don't be."
"How can I not be? You terrify me sometimes. You act so…suddenly. You don't think."
"It's just the way I am. I'm not gonna change."
"I know."
*silence*
"I hope you realize that I didn't ask you out because I want sex."
"What am I supposed to think, Jamie? A guy I've known for a few years, thinks he's the king of the world, gotten into trouble, all of a sudden wants to take me on a date. Never shown any interest in me before. There's a catch somewhere. I know there is."
"What if there isn't?"
"Then you're either crazy to even fancy me, or you're one hell of a liar, Jamie Bradley."
"Well, I may be a damn good liar, but I'm not lying to you about this."
"So you're just crazy."
"I may be crazy, but I'm crazy for you."
"Please don't ever say that again."
"What? Was it that corny?"
"Very."
"Fine. I won't say it again. I'll just tease you with my other corny one-liners."
*giggles* "You wouldn't."
"Try me."
*silence*
"I suppose I should kiss you know, shouldn't I?"
"I'd like that."
