The silence scared her. She had laid her heart on the line and she desperately was searching for a sign from him. Something. Anything, to let her know that he had understood what she said. 'Why is he just sitting there?' she thought.
He let out a huge sigh, fiddled with his jacket zipper as if it was the most interesting thing around, and decided to let it all out before he chickened out. He tried his best to face her…
Brady: Chloe, I'm sorry. (Looking deep into her eyes)
Chloe: Sorry for what Brady?
Brady: For hurting you by refusing to see you. That was wrong of me. I was acting childless and immature and for that I apologize.
Chloe: Oh…
Brady: and… (He couldn't do it. He looked back at his zipper and tried to regain his composure)
Chloe: And what Brady? What else do you want to say to me? Look whatever it is, please just say it and end my misery and suspense right now.
Brady: Fine Chloe. And you broke my heart too. ('There. I said it.') The night I walked out of your room and you refused to let me know that our summer meant something to you. That broke my heart.
Chloe: I'm sorry Brady, I didn't realize (she went to lightly place her hand on his arm)
Brady: (Looking up at her) Please don't.
Chloe: Don't what?
Brady: Don't touch me. And please let me finish.
Chloe: (Removing her arm) Ok, I'm sorry…I didn't realize…
Brady: (In a sad voice, not angry) That's just it. You didn't realize. You didn't take into consideration my feelings when you sprang this on me or told me that a few months ago. I have wanted you since the beginning of the summer (Small smile on Chloe's face) and that night I accepted the fact that my dream would never come true. (Pause) Now here you are trying to tell me that you were too scared to be with me and that you want to now. Well I'm sorry Chloe. It's too late. I have moved on and found someone else.
Chloe: (Very shaky) Oh…I know. I just thought that…
Brady: That what? I would just forget about Elizabeth and run into your arms? I'm sorry Chloe. That isn't going to happen. I don't forget my feelings for someone on the drop of a hat like it appears you do.
Chloe: I didn't forget my feelings for you…
Brady: No. You just choose to hide them.
Chloe: So are you saying you don't have feelings for me?
