maisie Because I won't feel like you're my responsibility anymore. Obviously it's going to take time, there'll be an adjustment period and when you meet someone new I'll be upset for a while, but I'll get over it when I see that you're happy. And vice versa. One day we'll have families of our own and our kids can be friends and we can laugh about how awkward our friendship briefly was, but we'll be glad that we stuck with it. Because I care about you.

jack You want to be done Mais, let's just be done. I'm not playing your games anymore.

maisie Have you been speaking to my sister?

[jack williams]

jack You literally couldn't pay me to talk to her.

[Deleted]

maisie Just you sounded like her then. You really think I’m playing games?

[jack williams]

jack Either that or you have no idea what you really want.

[Deleted]

maisie I want to be with you, I want to have your babies and be Mrs Williams forever. But I don’t want to have to constantly worry about where you are, your alcohol levels, what stupid impulsive decision you’re going to make next. Especially not when it impacts our kids.

[jack williams]

jack And you have no faith in me so here we are. I don't blame you, by the way. I know I don't have a good track record to work with here.

[Deleted]

maisie What could I have done to support you better? Obviously I wasn’t doing enough.

[jack williams]

jack You're perfect, don't do that. I can think about it all day and I won't come up with one thing I'd change about you or anything you could do better. .. ok, obviously there's the "divorce" thing. But other than that this has nothing to do with anything you lack.

[Deleted]

maisie That's just not true. No one's perfect, I hate when you put me on a pedestal, it feels like you don't really know me.

[jack williams]

jack You take everything so god damn literally, no shit no one's totally perfect. But let's consider you a cake. If I had to make my favorite cake, I'd throw all your ingredients in there. Some people might think you taste like shit, but you'd still be my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I have a list of things you do wrong too if you wanna hear it.

[Deleted]

maisie Please, because right now my heart hurts.

[jack williams]

jack You do all the laundry, but you take three weeks to fold it. It adds a good 15 minutes to my morning going all the clean but wadded up clothes. Well, used to. Your voice changes when you talk to Chloe, it's like you morph into little sister mode and get super immature which is annoying. You use my razor. I think you're bipolar, but I can't hold a mental illness against you. And the worst thing.. your coffee sucks. The sips I used to take to make you think it I liked it were almost painful. Confession: I would dump your coffee out at the end of the block each morning and proceed to Dunkin.

maisie That last one really stung.
