and they lived

dialogue.

i never knew what it was like to want to be with someone forever til i fell in love with you.

i think about you, too.

you're the one freaky thing in my freak world that still makes sense to me.

ours is a forever love.

sometimes when you love someone, you do crazy things.

i love you. i try not to, but i can't stop.

to me, you're the whole damn world.

i would rather have hope with you than certainty with anyone else.

no matter what happens, you are my light.

i have loved you desperately. i cannot breathe when you're not near.

how's forever? does forever work for you?

i believe we'll be together again.

the truth is, i stay away because you consume me.

i will brave the oceans and sail past the sirens to find my way back to you.

will you marry me?

love like ours doesn't just disappear. not completely. there is always an ember remaining.

i will always choose you.

the smallest chance of a perfect life with you is infinitely better than an immortal one without you.

i love you and i will love you until i take my lasy breath on this earth.

i'm in the arms of my first love, the first person i ever loved.

when i kissed you, you held your breath.

i don’t need you to save me. i just need you to stand by me. to hold me. to kiss me.

if we could live without passion, maybe we'd truly know some kind of peace.

if you stay, i'm afraid i may not be able to hold it together.

all i find myself thinking about, all i find myself being able to breathe for . . . is you.

you are the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires.

but you must know it in your heart.

i cannot stop thinking of you. from the mornings you ease to the evenings you quiet, to the dreams you inhabit.

do you think there is a corner of this earth far enough away to free me from this torment?

i want to fight with you! fight with me! fight for me!

do not leave me. do not leave me again.

you gave me back my life, now let me save yours.

you are all i want!

a mix of arguments, tension, manipulation, gossiping, fighting, & general emotional messiness!

you  weren't  supposed  to  hear  that.

don't  look  at  me  like  i'm  the  only  one  lying.

want  to  tell  them,  or  should  i?

you  think  i  don't  know  what  you  did?

i've  hit  people  for  less.

oh,  i  thought  you  already  knew.

that's  funny,  you  didn't  say  that  last  night.

say  that  again.  i  dare  you.

you  wanna  talk  about  loyalty?

no  offense,  but  if  you're  the  last  to  know,  that's  on  you.

go  ahead  -  pretend  like  it  wasn't  your  idea!

they  deserve  to  know  the  truth.

you  didn't  hear  this  from  me,  but  -

oh,  so  now  you  care?

don't  flatter  yourself.  you  were  just  convenient.

you  crossed  a  line.

we  had  bets  on  how  long  it  would  last.

it's  not  even  a  secret  anymore.

you  don't  get  to  cry  about  it  now.

touch  me  again  and  see  what  happens.

say  it  again.  louder  this  time.

you  really  thought  nobody  would  find  out?

don't  act  so  innocent.

okay,  but  am  i  the  villain  for  laughing?

tell  me  who  else  knows.  right  now.

this  whole  time,  and  you  didn't  say  a  word?

don't  act  brave  now.

you're  really  gonna  do  this  here?

it  wasn't  supposed  to  get  this  far!

you  can't  rewrite  history.

oh,  i'd  never  say  it  to  their  faces.

it  was  supposed  to  stay  between  us.

we're  all  thinking  it,  i  just  said  it.

you're  not  as  untouchable  as  you  act.

do  you  even  feel  guilty?

they  warned  me  about  you.

go  ahead,  make  it  worse.

if  you  repeat  this,  i'll  deny  everything.

the  next  thing  out  of  your  mouth  better  be  an  apology.

you're  about  three  seconds  away  from  regretting  this.

you  keep  pushing,  and  i'll  push  you  back.

they're  going  to  find  out.

one  more  lie,  and  i  walk.

they're  lying  to  you.

you  need  to  back  off.  now.

you're  defending  them?  after  everything?

don't  try  to  hide  it.

tell  me,  was  i  just  a  placeholder?

you  really  think  sorry  fixes  this?

there's  nothing  left  to  say.

don't  act  like  you're  the  one  hurting.

i  don't  owe  you  any  explanation.

whatever  helps  you  sleep  at  night.

you  should've  seen  this  coming.

i  hope  it  was  worth  it.

i  told  the  truth.  just  not  all  of  it.

you'll  miss  me  before  i  miss  you.

smile.  you're  ruining  the  mood.

i'd  watch  that  tone  if  i  were  you.

it's  not  my  fault  you  believed  me.

you  have  such  a  talent  for  pretending  you're  innocent.

we  both  know  this  is  over.

i  never  said  i  was  a  good  person.

SAM CAN'T help but bristle. it's habit to put up a guard when people get too close now. hell, it always had been for her. she was just another sob story, she told herself. no one wanted to hear her moan and groan about how her dad left and her mom was an alcoholic. how she'd stolen food from the grocery store as a kid to have something to eat. how her teachers had ignored the bruises that had covered her arms and legs when she was younger. that was the past. and sam had to make something of the present now. AND she had been, but now jax teller was getting in her business. and in her way.

" there might be other ways but this way suits me just fine, teller. " there it is, the last name. the putting distance between them. if not physically, but at least with her words. but then his hands are on her chin, moving her face. and her jaw clenches, nose scrunches. an almost growl caught between her teeth as she stares to the side, refusing to make eye contact with him.. most women would kill each other to have jax tellers hands on them. but sam has never been most women, and never will be. " pain never bothered me much, you get used to it after a while. nice to know you have so much faith in me. i won't get hurt that bad. " it's a lie straight through her teeth. she isn't the best. but she might be the toughest.

for the "i don't need your help" one

you can get lost.

i thought i told you i had this under control.

you never listen to me.

i was taking care of it.

leave me alone.

are you happy now?

you just stepped in and ruined it for me.

that was completely unnecessary and you know it.

i had it under control.

you didn't need to show up.

can't you let me handle my own shit?

i would have appreciated it if you asked first.

i had it handled!

you didn't need to do all that!

what part of "i don't need help" do you not understand?

they were about to give it to me before you showed up!

i had something going and you ruined it!

what, you mean you don't trust me to handle it myself?

you trained me better than this.

you can't just show up every time and save me.

what's the point in putting me out here if you're not going to let me do it on my own?

i thought you trusted me to take care of this by myself.

you taught me this.

i'm never going to forgive you for this.

that was uncalled for.

what happens when you're not here one day and i have to take care of things on my own?

how am i ever going to learn if you keep stepping in?

i'm not you.

for the "i'm just trying to help you" one

i heard you struggling.

i was just trying to help you.

and this is the thanks i get for trying to help?

things were getting out of hand. i had to step in.

you never would have done that by yourself.

it's okay to ask for help.

it's not that i don't trust you. i don't trust [them].

a minute longer and you'd be dead in there.

i had to make sure you were okay.

of course i trust you. this was never about trust.

i'm not going to risk your life like that!

i should have been there sooner.

if i'd only reached you faster.

a simple "thank you" would suffice.

you could thank me for saving your ass back there.

sure didn't seem like you had it under control.

things were getting out of hand, and i stepped in.

i'm in charge here, not you.

i'm not going to put your life at risk like that again.

we're done here.

i'm not arguing with you.

i saved your life, and this is how you repay me?

i just wanted to make sure you were okay.

maybe i crossed a line back there, sure, but i did it for you.

it's because i care about you.

of course you're capable. that was never up for debate.

you're not ready.

next time, let me handle it.

clearly you need more time before i let you do that alone.
