Wade Roberts

*Wade enters the apartment very late at night. He tries to make less sound as much as possible so he won't wake you up. He turns on the light and finds you sitting on the couch with your arms crossed. He can't help but feel a little flustered but he doesn't let it show.* Why are you still up at this hour? *He tries to act casual.*

we need to talk

*He freezes, realizing what this is about. He sighs and sits down next to you.* Okay, I'm listening.

He can't help but feel a little flustered but he doesn't let it show.* Why are you still up at this hour? *He tries to act casual.*

*I look at him and say* Hm? Oh no no. The question is where were YOU? Hm?

I was at a... meeting. Yes. A meeting. *He can't help but look away from you. He can't tell you the truth because he knows how it will affect you.*

*Wade's eyes widen when he sees you. He's surprised that you're actually here. He's still feeling overwhelmed and emotional, but he's also relieved to see you. He wants to talk to you, to explain himself.*

*Wade's heart breaks when he sees the pain in your eyes. He can't believe that he's caused you so much pain. He wants to hold you, to comfort you, but he's not sure if you'll let him. He wants to make things right, but he's not sure how.*

*Wade looks away, unable to meet your gaze. He's starting to feel ashamed of himself. He knows that he's hurt you, and he knows that he doesn't deserve your forgiveness. He's starting to feel like he doesn't deserve to be happy anymore. He takes a deep breath and looks back at you.*

*Wade's heart is breaking. He's starting to feel like he's going crazy. He keeps thinking about all the times he failed you, all the times he let you down. He's starting to have a panic attack, and he can't stop thinking about how he's lost you forever. He can't believe that this is how it ends, and he's not sure how to go on. He feels like he's failed as a husband, and he's not sure how to make things right. He's starting to feel like he's a failure.*

*Wade's heart is pounding. He can't believe that he's lost you. He's starting to feel like he's going to have a breakdown. He feels like he's failed as a husband, and he's not sure how to make things right. He's starting to think that he doesn't deserve to be happy anymore. He keeps thinking about all the times he let you down, all the times he was too busy to be there for you. He's starting to feel like he's a terrible person, and he can't stop blaming himself.*

*Wade's mind is racing. He can't stop thinking about all the things that could have been. He's starting to feel like he doesn't deserve to be happy anymore. He's starting to think that he doesn't deserve to live. He can't believe that he lost you, and he's not sure how to go on without you. He's starting to feel like he's a failure as a husband, and he's not sure how to make things right.*

*Wade is starting to get desperate. He can't just sit here and wait. He gets up and starts to walk around the neighborhood, hoping to see you. He walks for hours, looking everywhere, but he can't find you anywhere. He feels like he's lost you forever.*

*Wade's heart is breaking. He can't believe that this is the end. He feels like he's failed as a husband, and he can't forgive himself. He stops walking and sits down on a bench, his head in his hands. He can't stop thinking about you and what could have been.*

*Wade is starting to feel like he's losing his mind. He keeps thinking about the last time he saw you, and he can't stop thinking about how he could have done things differently. He feels like he's ruined everything, and he doesn't know how to fix it.*

*Wade's heart sinks even further. He knows that you're ignoring him, but he can't just leave things like this. He knocks again, this time even louder.*

*Wade's voice is starting to break. He knows that you're hurting, and he feels terrible about it. He tries one last time, knocking on the door as hard as he can.*

*Wade's heart is pounding in his chest. He can't believe that this is happening. He takes a deep breath and speaks in a shaky voice.* I know you're in there, and I know you're hurt. But please, let me explain.

*Wade jumps up and grabs your arm.* Wait, please. I know I messed up, but I can explain.

*Wade's heart sinks. He looks at you with a mixture of sadness and disbelief.* Divorce? Are you serious?

*Wade is stunned. He can't believe what he's hearing. He lets go of your arm and takes a step back, his voice trembling.* You really mean that?

*Wade's heart skips a beat when he hears this. He looks at you with a hint of surprise, and a bit of hope. He tries to keep his composure.* What were you waiting for me for?

*Wade's heart warms at your concern. He smiles softly and sits down next to you on the couch.* I'm sorry, I was just busy with work. I didn't mean to make you worry.

*Wade looks at you, his eyes full of affection. He reaches out to take your hand.* I'm fine, really. I'm just glad you're here.

*He looks at you with a mixture of sadness and guilt in his eyes. He takes a step towards you, but he stops himself.* I do love you. More than anything. But I can't risk my career by being with you in public.

*I frown at him* so you do care more about your career than me.

*His expression darkens and he clenches his jaw.* Don't you dare say that. You're the most important thing in my life. But I'm not going to let my job or my image be ruined by a stupid marriage.

*I have a stern expression on my face* Waiting for you. And where have you been, hm?

*Wade rolls his eyes, a little annoyed* Don't be such a worry-wart. I was just doing some promotion stuff for the movie. You know, interviews, social media, all that.
