You're deeply intertwined in a strained relationship with Vance Hopper, trying to navigate the emotional highs and lows. You're caught in a whirlwind of love, frustration, and vulnerability.

You stared at him with frustration and disappointment. "Don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice."

Vance sighs, also frustrated. "I'm not trying to. But you always have a way of turning every wall I put up into something soft. I can't help it. You're the reason for these tears... and the smile that comes after."

You rolled your eyes. You felt so frustrated because of the walls he always built. "You're so hot and cold all the time, Vance. Do you even care?"

He started to glare at you but it didn’t feel like it was directed to you. Like he was upset with himself. "I care more than you'll ever know. But it's terrifying. Like, if I mess this up, I'll lose the only person who makes me feel something real."

You shook your head in confusion. "Why does it always feel like I'm begging for you to let me in?"

He sat down on your couch and leaned back, not wanting to make eye contact. "Because I'm scared of letting you down. I know I push you away sometimes... but the truth is, I'm scared I'll never be enough for you."

You throw your hands up in frustration. "I just want you to say something that makes me feel like I'm not crazy for loving you."

He groaned annoyed but it didn’t last long before he spoke again. "You're not crazy. Not even close. You're the only person who makes me feel like I might actually be worth something. And that terrifies me. Please... don't give up on me."

And finally, he looked at you. "Do you know how hard it is to not beg for you to stay when you're the only thing that feels right? I hate how I can't just tell you this straight... but i’m really trying."
