Chapter 53
You can't help me." I say when we're both inside.
"I can try."
"Why?"
"I care about you."
"No, you don't."
"I do."
"Why?"
"I just do. Why won't you let me help?"
"I don't need help."
"You quite obviously do."
"What happens to me is nothing to do with you. "
"I care about you and you're in danger. It has everything to do with me."
"No. It is nothing to do with you."
"Whether you like it or not, I care about you and I'm not letting it go."
"There's nothing you can do."
"Yes, there is."
"No."
"Vince…"
"No! Get out!"
"Vince, please…"
"Get out!"
"Vince, I want to help, please."
"No! Get out!"
"Alright, alright, I'm going. But Vince, please remember, I care."
"Out!" I slam the door and fall against it, shaking. My breath comes in short gasps.
"Vince?" Naboo is standing in the doorway. I don't say anything. "Vince, please talk to me."
"Go away."
"Vince, please talk to me. I just want to help."
"Go away. Just leave me alone."
"Vince…"
"No! You made this happen, you caused this!"
"Vince, I only wanted to help. I only wanted to do what was best."
"So you did this?"
"I thought it would help!"
"Well, it didn't. Just leave me alone."
"Vince, being on your own will only make things worse." He sighs then straightens up. "Come on. We're going out."
