She stared at him, tapping her foot.

Amyntas stays quiet, hiding underneath the blanket.

(When two very stubborn people live together-)

(Right haha)

Ariella gripped the blanket and pulled at it.

Amyntas huffs, letting her pull the blanket off.

She looked down at him, clearly unamused. "It's time for you to get up. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. And get up "

Amyntas sighs, “I’m not…I just give up…”

"You can't give up. You can't. Think of all the people you're hurting. If you can't do it for yourself then do it for them."

Amyntas sighs, “What’s the point? I’m living…thats what they want…they want me to suffer…”

"Who? Your parents? Because they don't. What about me? I don't want to see you suffer. They're winning. You're letting them win because you're giving up."

Amyntas sighs, “They’ve already won…”

"No they haven't. Not yet." She shook her head.

Amyntas hides his face. “They will soon then…”

"No they won't. You can't let them. They've done enough already. Don't give them this satisfaction." She grabbed his shoulders.

He pushes her away. “Can you quit touching me?”

She released him, running a ahnd through his hair. "Please, just get up."

“No…I’m done…”

"No. I won't let you. They don't deserve to win. They deserve to suffer. Make them suffer. Be angry."

Amyntas looks at her, “What’s the point…?”

"Revenge, pettiness, to shove it in their face. Anything but this."

Amyntas sighs, looking away.

Ariella shook her head, looking down at him. She walked away from him

Amyntas stays silent, closing his eyes. He was tired…of everything.
