Getting a job is the single most emasculating thing you can do to someone. It's like you're trying to get beaten. I'm not decorating another room in this place until Jenny gets out. I'm just not doing it.
These boys are off the rails. Wait until the power trip is over. Do you know what Bucky told me the other day? He beat Dot. He beat her so bad, he said he just kept hitting her and when she fell down he just kept kicking her. She ran and locked herself in the bathroom. Bucky wasn't doing this a month ago. He would have never thought he'd have ever done this to Jenny. This is a competition and we're the game pieces. They're trying to see how far they can push it before crossing the line. That's why Brad died. He crossed the line when they decided Jenny wasn't a piece anymore but we still are. All of us, so start playing offence. They want someone to grovel? Do it. Do it all until they're back to normal.
[Mary nods] Myles wasn't always this bad. I mean, he beat me before. Pretty badly, but when he brought Steve over to my place that night. [She shudders] It was the night before it happened to Jenny. We were talking about running away. We'd been trying to save up to go through the woods, but it all went down so fast. And now that he's pushed me to this point, he's being so good that it's not until times like this I even realize how bad it's all gotten. He got me an apartment. He promised to never let another man touch me again. He's so full of promises and I do believe them. I don't know if that makes me dumb, but if he does do something like this again, I have money I'm saving now. If he does it again, I'm out. I'm fucking gone.
[Mike looks sheepish from the corner, the room falls quiet for a moment. He feels like everyone's eyes are on him even though it's just Elise who glanced over] Hi, um. I'm sorry. I thought this was going to be a kiki- er. Just regular gossip session but I'm... I'm so sorry you guys have been dealing with all this. Brock doesn't do anything like that. He... I'm not even really sure if we're still together. I fucked it up, I'm sorry guys. I'm really sorry. I- shit. He like pushed me a little when I told him I wrote Bucky admit to our relationship, then invited him for coffee and if anything I'd say that was an underreaction. I feel like if there's a bad guy in our relationship, it'd be me right now. Not that- I'm gonna stop talking now.
