me like a pet”
Cooper:” Ethan?”
Scarlett:” of course it’s him”
Cooper:” I thought you to we’re good together”
Scarlett:” we only look good together because I make us like that I take all that shit in
and smile and be pretty while he’s eating my soul out”
Cooper:” hey I don’t know what’s going on by why don’t you talk to him”
Scarlett:” because he knows I can’t he owns me I sold my sold to him. Remember in
high school I said that I was going to change school and move with my uncle I didn’t I
run off away from my abusive dad who Ethan turned to be exactly like him I was
working random jobs sleeping between cars in parking until he saved me from that he
was so sweet and caring in the beginning but then he met sal and he became a car guy
and all he cares about is his stupid old cars and races and I just can’t handle this
anymore”
Cooper:” I’m sorry to hear that”
Scarlett:” no need to be sorry I got myself into this and I’ll find a way out of it.
