I was hurt!

[But he's tried his best not to hold it against her. He pushed her away with his selfishness and Jonathan had been by her side like a little lost puppy from the get go.]

[whatwestarted]

And I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. But I thought you'd forgiven me.

[her eyes are hot, her shoulders pulled sharp.]

[bigboyvibes]

I never said I didn't.

[It would be wrong to hold that against her despite how much it had hurt him.]

[whatwestarted]

Well, you talk like you're still mad at me.

[and she doesn't know how to fix it.]

[bigboyvibes]

I'm sorry....

[He doesn't exactly know how to fix it either or how they can get past this hurdle.]

I've learned to move past it.

[whatwestarted]

I'm not ready for another relationship, Steve. I dated you, and then Jonathan, and - I just need a little time to figure out who I am.

[she takes a breath.]

[bigboyvibes]

So do it.

[He's not going to stop her.]

[whatwestarted]

But if you want to try again, when I do.

[bigboyvibes]

Let's not worry about that right now.

[She needs to do some healing on her own first.]

[whatwestarted]

I mean it.

[but she finally deflates slightly, pulling open the door and dropping into the passenger's seat.]

[bigboyvibes]

Let's get you home.

[He mutters lowly as he moves to get in himself.]

Don't want your mother sending all of fucking Hawkins to track me down.

[whatwestarted]

She won't.

[muttered as she buckles herself in.]

[bigboyvibes]

That will be a first.

[He mutters back lowly.]

[whatwestarted]

[she sinks a little in her seat, frustrated.]

How do I make you believe how I felt about you?

[bigboyvibes]

You don't have too.

[He's accepted the fact that he just wasn't enough for her. That weren't as perfect as he thought and thats fine.]

[whatwestarted]

I want to.

[she grips her hands into uncomfortable fists in her lap.]

It's important to me.

[bigboyvibes]

Nancy, I swear it's fine. Alright? It is.

[And he wants her to believe him when he says it.]

[whatwestarted]

I loved you, Steve. You were the first guy I ever loved.

[bigboyvibes]

[He doesn't want to get into another argument about their failed relationship because he knows it's just going to upset her. That's the last thing he wants.

So he remains silent.]

[whatwestarted]

[she sinks a little more into the seat, uncomfortable.]

Well. The movie was nice, at least.

[bigboyvibes]

Yeah.

[Well, the scenes he actually watched anyway.]

[whatwestarted]

[she glances at him, looks like she wants to say something else, and then simply lapses into silence until he arrives at her home.]

[bigboyvibes]

[He stops his car slowly once they arrive back at her place. Hopefully her mom won't be in a frenzy.]

[whatwestarted]

[there's a lone light on shining through the living room window, and nancy flips sun visor open so she can check her hair and lipstick in the mirror. she sighs, grabbing her purse and glancing at him again.]

Let me know, alright? If you want to hang out again.

[bigboyvibes]

[Hopefully her mom doesn't think the worst but then again. He gives a small nod of his head, his eyes watching her every move.]

Sure.
