WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a scene between two characters who have suppressed their feelings for each other.
What features of dialogue or behaviour could you highlight in this kind of relationship?
Afraid
And all of a sudden the feelings that I had pushed down for so long were surfacing
Becoming a bubbling volcano of things I couldn’t express
It was joy
It was fear
It was sadness
There were tears
Afraid of what you’d say
Afraid of what you’d see
Afraid to think that you would never want me
Cause why me?
A girl so battered and torn
Why me?
But as the volcano of emotions exploded
You stood there
Like a calm in the storm
Like a warm bed for weary heads
And that’s when I realized it was all okay
No matter what
You would stay
