Tv Tropes Whose Line Novels & Stories

"Emma, can't you see how hard Amelia's trying to apologize? Why do you always have to be so mean? I never thought you'd be such a hypocrite! You bully others while pretending to be all sweet and innocent!" I glanced at Olivia, her face full of hostility. It wasn't hard to guess what she was thinking. Since they were all my enemies, maybe it was time to deal with them all at once. I clicked my tongue in annoyance. "Are you two done with the act? I already said I'm not drinking it, so why keep forcing it on me? Olivia, if you trust Amelia that much, why don't you drink it yourself?"

"Stop fooling around, Doctor Smith! How can someone just die so easily? I was just holding her hand not long ago. I promised I would come back for her… She always keeps her promises. She'll wait for me to come home." "But she's not home. You saw that yourself, didn't you?" Wade said. "Maybe she's just angry at me. I really did cross a line there…" Zach stammered.
