"You can"t just push me out of my comfort zone because you think I need more friends, you haven"t interacted with me for months, not even seen me for months only calls, only texts," Regan cried her voice rising and dropping as she found it hard to speak, her tears clogging her throat, "memories you want to use against me for being over-dependent on you, are fading in your mind. How can you say we"re too close when you can"t even remember when we were?" "Doesn"t that say something? I"M TIRED REGAN! you can"t blame me for wanting something new, you being dependent on me is too much to handle, coming to me as your comfort for things your mom could have helped you with, crying to me constantly, I"m overwhelmed by your dependency, overflowing with emotions from you and me," Ella yelled tears rolling down her eyes, "I"m scared, everytime I want to hang out with someone else, I worry if you are fine. Your dependency is weakening my ability to stick up for myself without overthinking about hurting anybody else. I need a break from it. I need to be able to say no and yes without worrying. Need to be able to walk away without worrying about hurting people, and I need to be able to pick my own friends. And it all starts with you STOPPING YOUR DEPENDENCY ON ME!"
"What"s wrong with me wanting to depend on you? It"s not like I stop you from making friends it"s you that"s thinking that way, if you are unable to handle it don"t just blame it on me," Regan sobbed, "you"re the only one I can seek comfort it, the only one I can cry to without feeling guilty, the only one I want to be able to share secrets about my crushes with, the only one I want to spend time with. My father left me, my mum"s depressed, I like Damien too much to even talk to in case I push him away with my words. What"s wrong with seeing you as my only light?"
"So you push all your issues on me? Can you hear yourself? So selfish," Ella wiped away her tears, "I need to replenish myself, throw away all of my weights and just breathe. If that means to stop seeing you for a bit and sweep away a few of our memories then I"m sorry but I need to renew myself."
"No," Regan cried, raising her trembling hands to grab Ella and pull her close, "you will not leave me. You will not forget me."
"Let go!" Ella screamed, pushing Regan to the ground and picked up her jacket, "why are you so clingy? Julius was right, you were kind of sticking to me like a leech, sucking my strength away."
"Julius?" Regan muttered, wiping her tears as she laid on the floor, "he put you up to this?"
"No, he simply opened my eyes to your over-dependency," Ella sighed, looking away from Regan, "he was right, you were hurting me with your constant calling and checking up on and comfort sessions."
Regan stared at Ella"s back as she turned around and began to walk away, "you will not leave me. You will stay," Regan scrambled to her feet and ran after Ella, reaching out and grabbed her pulling her into a tight back hug, "if I can"t have you at my side, no one else will."
