[M4A] " Confession Is Good For The Soul" -Alternate Ending [Speaker Bully x Listener ] [Reunion] [Speaker Confession] [Catching up and Apologies] [Second Chances?]

"Excuse me, your bag is open and -"

[Speaker stops shocked ]

" Are you ..."

[Speaker trails off]

"It is you. It been quite a while."

...

"Ahh yes . Here , it fell out of your bag . "

...

"Sure no problem. "

[Listener turns to walk away but Speaker hurries to stop them ]

"Before you go... Would it be too much if I asked if we could talk ? "

[Speaker says nervously]

"If you're not busy of course."

...

"Really? I know I nice cafe down the block we could go to . "

...

"Alright , great."

[The bells ring and Speaker opens the cafe door]

"Thanks for agreeing. I never thought I'd ever see you again ... Considering you said you never wanted to see me again ."

...

"That was 5 years ago though. I even thought you moved away ."

...

"You did ?"

...

"Oh... to the other side of town ."

...

" How's life been treating you ?"

...

"It shows? "

...

"Well I guess small talk was never my thing."

...

"It's good to know you've been well though ."

...

[Speaker says softly]

"Me ...well I've been working on myself. You were right ... Naturally. Everything I did back then was unbelievably stupid . It's a good thing you didn't forgive me either. I had a serious communication issue ... With other issues in the background. I actually started therapy a couple months after that incident. "

...

"Yeah it's more maintenance now ."

...

"Thank you . I really appreciate that ."

...

"I truly never forgot and will always be apologetic about how I treated you back then. I don't know if you'll take my apology now ..."

...

"I am truly sorry for the pain I've caused you . "

...

"You do? "

[Speaker's voice perks up]

"Thank you. This means so much."

...

"There's a reason why you accepted now?"

...

"I felt genuine..."

...

"You know, during my sessions when I brought this incident up my therapist asked me, if I liked you imagine what you thought I would do to you if I hated you. It's pretty heavy to imagine the different perspective, how what I say and the actions behind them translate to others. "

...

"It makes sense . You never knew I liked you until I confessed to you . I never gave you any reason to believe that I had these feelings. Me saying all that out of the blue must have made you sick."

...

"Yeah , in all right ."

...

"Everytime after that I've thought about how things could have been. You know , if I wasn't stupid . I also thought about you forgiving me in that moment. There was no imagination behind that one. It only ever plays out in rejection. Which made sense. Have I ever done anything to deserve the forgiveness in that moment? "

...

[Speaker laughs and jokes]

"I can't wait to tell my therapist about my breakthrough."

...

[Speaker sighs]

"Thinking how easy it was for you to see all the things I had to go to therapy for me to find and fix... "

...

"I feel disappointed in myself actually."

...

"You realized I dropped the excuses ."

...

"It's like 'but' vanished from my vocabulary."

...

"Taking accountability she said. It's a process."

...

"It sound bad to say but I think this is the first I've seen you smile around me ."

...

"Granted I never gave you a reason then .... But it's refreshing."

...

"I really did . I liked a person I never really knew . Ugh. The more we talk about the worse it gets. "

...

"Facing the facts is terrible."

...

"Is this the longest we've ever had a conversation? "

...

"No don't answer that. I know the answer."

...

" The last thing I said that day ?"

...

[Speaker gets shy]

"I might have skipped that part a bit. I really thought it would be too soon ."

...

[Speaker says softly]

"I did mean it. I think... It still applies..."

...

" But it would still be me liking a person I hardly know... "

[Speaker clears his throat]

"Unless you're in the space to consider changing that."

...

[Speaker starts to spiral realizing what he said and panics]

"Was that too much ? It was too much wasn't it. Did I regress? Did I screw up already?"

...

"I'm - I'm relaxed."

...

"You'll think about it?"

...

"I know it's not guaranteed that you'll feel the same... We can start as friends."

...

"To close? Ummm... Acquaintances?"

...

"Too close?"

...

"Someone I knew in college then met after 5 years sounds long... But it works , it works."

...

"Of course I know not to expect much."

...

"And I know you're not promising anything."

...

"One day at a time ..."

...

"Yes, my therapist told me that... She also told me baby steps ... So I'm trying to apply that now."

...

"Yes I guess we can catch up on a ..."

...

"That works for me too."

...

[Speaker laughs]

"Shaking on it feels appropriate."

...

"Thank you... So much to sitting down with me. It means a lot."

...

"It was a pleasure to meet you too Someone I knew in college then met after 5 years."
