-matty wondering if it's safe to head home yet, sighs-

....-walks home sadly, tenses when he sees Ezio-
........
-panics-

-looks up,stares at-
....

-just stares, doesn't come closer, fear and hate and sadness all in his eyes-

Matty...
-sighs deeply-

Ezio.
-hurt-
What are you doing here?
-suddenly self-conscious of all his bruises and wounds-

Im here, to find you.
-watches-
What happend to you.

Why? So you can tell me how terrible you think I am some more?
-obviously hurt-
.....What do you mean? Why are you concerned. I thought you'd be happy I'm getting what I deserve.

-frowns-
You betrayed us all, but that doesnt mean i want to see you HURT.
-looks upset-

-sad-
I didn't want to betray you. I thought you would understand, and help me out of the mess I was forced into, but instead I was abandoned by those who told me they'd protect me no matter what.
-looks at-
I deserve everything he does to me...

How do you think i felt?
i opened my heart to you Matt!
I opend up everything, i told you what happend to my family!
-hisses-
Fine, stay with your templar, i dont care.

-cringes-
...And how do you think it felt when they told me I could hand over Connor, or watch you and Trasey die?
-sad-
You're prepared for this, but Trasey isn't. You're blaming the hostage for robbing the bank, while a gun is being held to her son's head.
-hurt-
Wait...Templar?
-confused-

Trasey ...
-sighs-
Yeah, Thomas Hickey.
He is am knight of the templar...
-watches,scowls-

-panicking-
Oh god, that explains everything...
-having a breakdown, hyperventilating-
What do I do?
-looks at, wide eyes, then scowls-
Why am I asking you? I don't forgive you, you don't care what happens to me.
-turns, freaking out-

..-sighs-
Come home with me..
-offers hand-
We...we will try and help...

-turns back, stares at his hand-
......Ezio...
I understand what I did was wrong, but...
-closes eyes-
I can't help but feel so betrayed by you...I don't know if I can trust you...

You know how i feel...
-sad look-
About you now..

-nods-
I know, but...
-turns-
Look at me Ezio.
-sincere-
I would never, ever, EVER betray you if I had the choice.
-hurt-
I thought when I told you what I did you would help me fix it, not abandon me. How can I trust you after all you told me...? About you loving me through anything?
-holds up his hand, shows Ezio both rings-
You threw our love away, it meant nothing to you.

-sad-
I was hurt...im still hurt. I saw my family's death all over again..
I wasnt about to let that happen again love..
-sighs-
But if you want to stay..i understand.

-nods-
I don't deserve to be happy.
Thomas makes me miserable every moment I'm with him, THAT'S what I deserve.
-cries a bit-
.....-takes off both rings, hands them over-
I'm tired of seeing these, they only hurt me.

-takes HIS ring-
...
no..
-sad look-
I still love you.

-hesitates, looks at, hurt-
Then why did you leave me...?
-crying, turns from, holding other ring tightly-
Goodbye Ezio.

-sad-
Because i was scared..
-watches him leave-

-walks into his apartment, breaks down-
.....

-sitting at the table,confused look-
Hmn?

-hurries past, doesn't want to explain why he's crying-
