He rests his head on his hands, swearing to himself in his head. He was glad in a way that Beth had come over and that he could say that, and also that Ally could hear it. But he was also genuinely sad that he hurt Beth, and slightly confused as to why Ally ran out.
He swallows hard. "Beth, can you please just go? I don't want to get back together with you!" he scoots away as far as he can "you where there when I needed a fuck. That is all Beth! I know what I did was shitty. I know that! And I'm sorry, I truly am, if you thought it was anything more than...
