angst dialogue (#1)

“give me a chance!” “i’ve given you far too many.”

“go ahead. drown your problems in chardonnay.”

“it took me a while to figure out, but i deserve better than you.”

“i feel like i don’t know you anymore.”

“i was foolish to believe you loved me.”

there’s more under the cut! :)

“i’m sorry.”

“this is all my fault.”

“please! i need you!”

“and after all of this… i still love you.”

“i’m sorry i’m not them.”

“we’re your family!” “then why do you treat me the way you do?”

“sometimes i wish i never had you.”

“why can’t you be more like your siblings?”

“great, now i’m the bad guy.”

“grow up and get over it.”

“am i… gonna die?”

“this can’t be real. this is just a nightmare.”

“i’m getting worse.”

“i don’t want to die!”

“i don’t think i’ll make it another day…”

“you’ll be okay, i promise.”

“i can’t believe it…”

“it gets worse before it gets better, okay?”

“you’re not gonna die, it’s gonna be okay. you’re gonna be okay.”

“don’t say that.”

“i don’t think they’re just a friend.”

“you two were made for each other.”

“i know how happy they make you.”

“you deserve nothing but the best, and i can’t give you that.”

“c’mon. you know i love you.” “i wish i believed that.”

“you really think anyone loves you? be realistic for once.”

“i’m only with you because i feel sorry for you. no sane person would want anything to do with you.”

“good lord, you’re so dependent.”

“you’re nothing without me.”

“you’re disgusting and disappointing. a waste of time and effort.”
