You and Max have been through a lot of shit together, right? A lot of shit. I'm sure she'd forgive you just about anything. And you know what, sure, maybe you will make a fuck up- but maybe you won't. Life's too short worrying about shit like that. You've just gotta do it. While you've still got the chance. Or it'll all just pass you by.
[ She's quiet for a minute. He's right. She hates that he's right, especially when she knows what it's like to lose someone because they wouldn't take the chance. But there's still all that doubt. ]
She stopped talking to me once. For like... years. She said she was sorry, she regrets it and all, and I believe her, but... It's hard not to be scared it'll happen again if I don't do this right. Or maybe that's just the anxiety talking. It's hard to tell anymore what's worth being scared of and what isn't.
...I mean, yeah. I don't blame you for feeling worried after that. It's that kind of shit that makes you wary. But-
[And this is the important part.]
Sometimes, you've just got to take that leap again. Even if you know it might hurt. Because if you don't? You'll just be afraid of maybe getting hurt forever, and that'll just hurt more in the long run.
And hey, if she walks out on you again, let me know and we'll totes throw something important to her into Tomie. Vandalism

[ She’s quiet a second, scrunching her mouth up. ]
I don’t wanna fuck this up and my track record so far does the opposite of that.
